Improving snow traction

-
Keeping a full tank of gas in it helps a lot too. Id advise against any type of locker, especially the "lunchbox" cheap ones. Great off road, but they have a tendency to not want to unlock on icy roads in a turn, and you keep going straight.
 
Good studded snow tires, not some snow /mud offroad tires.

If you road there have snow you need skinny tires, but if they are covered with solid ice wider tire is not so bad

our roads are covered with 4'' of ice 4-6 moths of the year.

Better to buy expensive tires than hit MOOSE or REINDEER
 
My 4.7 standard 4x4 Dakota is absolutely useless in the snow. I run 4 studded snows w about 1000 lbs in the bed. Otherwise it just sets and spins in 2x. I am also in Maine where last I knew we got over 100 inches of snow so far this year.
 
I have one of those fancy magic shifters in both of my trucks, you know
4L
N
2H
4H it works magic in the snow! But I usually wait until I absolutely need the magic as parts are expensive.
 
We put snow cables on the Postal vehicles they work pretty good considering the vehicles only weigh 3,000 lbs. I have used cables and steel chains on the rear of my personal rear wheel drive vehicles before and they work very well just a pain to install in the snow. By the way Lynchburg VA is called the hill city.
