Hey everyone I’ve got a question hoping some people can help with I have a 2014 regular cab 8 foot bed 2500 Silverado 4x4 currently running stock size cooper mud and snow tires this truck seems to have plenty of power however in snow it lacks seems to not get traction or keep traction with or with out traction control it will often times just spin in snow sometimes the bed will start hopping the question is will weight in the bed help with this or is this truck just not good in snow and I should except that thanks

Some do better then others. Weight would help keep the tires in traction in snow, yes. Not much weight in a pickup rear as that's that what they were meant for, hauling weight. Things like Jeeps don't need that as the gas tank is over the rear axle. Might pop it up a gear if you have a stick shift transmission.

weight over the rear axle will help any vehicle in the snow. this is why most times people will shovel snow into their bed to help weigh it down. also the wider the tires the worst it will do in the snow
