And don't forget that sometimes these things are affected by the "loose nut holding the steering wheel".
I've seen several times where it just makes a difference who's driving.
Also, take a look at the tires on the trucks that make it up your driveway. Big difference there too.
Wieght helps with traction, but that same "advantage' can be your worst enemy, when you start down the hill. It's harder to hold back a heavy vehicle. You have to use more brake, then you start sliding, and all that wieght becomes momentum.
My wifes brother has a situation like yours. He parks his truck at the bottom of the hill, and has an old Ford Bronco with studded snow tires, just to get up and down the hill.
Kinda makes you dislike winter, doesn't it? John
