My 110 pickup is still relatively new to me, and since we don't get much snow in this area I don't have any experience to go on regarding traction - or lack of - in snow. With the reduced weight on the rear of the truck, does anyone find it necessary to add weight to the bed to improve traction? If so, what do you use?
My experience with small, 2wd pickups in the past was they were horrible in snow. I've loaded the bed of a 2wd truck with firewood, sandbags, even some cast iron pipe fittings all in an attempt to get better traction (with little luck.)
My guess is, the 110 is pretty heavy, especially the unsprung weight, so maybe not an issue. I have Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires which have done OK off-road and in sand, just not sure about winter condition driving.
