I never hauled much more than a ton in winter. These guys only adding 400# may as well have nothing. I had my 3/4 ton springs heavy for pulling trailers in summer. With winter frost heaves it took the 1200# to make the old Chevy ride smooth, let alone be good on snow and ice. My second 3/4 ton Chevy had a tool box and 150 gallon diesel tank in back. These trucks were 2 wheel drive.
