I'd agree. I know a lot of the older pickups had such a heavy front end bias that the rear end really needed extra weight to even them out. That big cast iron tiller wheel sitting in an old rubber tire helped give the old IH pickup a little more traction but it should have been firmly attached to the back of the truck box we found out later. That truck needed about half a ton of weight to give it traction, even with IH "power lok differential".
I've use 2wd pickups for years getting around the farm and a snow drifted half mile driveway. Since I have gone to four wheel drive with snow tires all around I know I have gone places that would have left me stuck with the old 2wd pickup.
If you run a 2 wd pickup here you better have a snowmobile loaded up in the box for weight and then to drive for help after you get stuck. :lol:
