Snowy, icey, inclement weather is not one of them comparatively. Ferrying the family to ski resorts in them, is tragically myopic.
I invite light duty truck owners, to contest this. Which vehicle has worse traction, at a premium price point?

You're completely right about them being awful in the snow/ice.
Hats off to PepsiFree and his studded tires in his. That's the only way I'd be comfortable in a pick-up versus basically any FWD or AWD car or SUV.
That light rear end on a truck makes them fking terrible in the winter. I leave mine parked as much as possible in icy conditions.
