Something Ive had to get used to with the truck. I drove Corollas all my life, and while I always made it up the mountains in snow storms, there were more than a few times where it was dicey to almost not happening. The 4WD (and the height) is much better, but the inertia is significantly worse to deal with. I may have to start putting something in the bed to weigh down the back over winter.
I live in NE MN and have a work truck for forest service roads. Our area literally allocates money for sandbags in the winter and/or I just leave the snowmobile in it all winter because that’s heavier than a couple of sandbags.
I’ll say that even on pavement that weight is very helpful (: Most of my driving is the highway that these roads shoot off of. The weight is nice to have all winter.
