I always have had a pickup truck. I used to have a problem with them skidding. When I was stationed on Cape Cod I thought the fix was to get a 4X4. Got an F-150 4X4 but seemed to slide even worse.
Best advice a Yankee gave me there: weigh down the bed, right over the rear axle. After that, always had 8 50 lb. bags of sand over the rear axle. Quit sliding and rode better even in 2X4. Night and day difference!

Used that trick when we lived in Minnesota and had to deal with road conditions all winter , started as early as October - had snow on occasion up until May and lakes were still somewhat frozen even then :):):)
Pickups are notorious for rear sliding. Hubby always has weight in the back of his.
My 4WD is awesome in the snow but I drove my Son’s Chevy Trail Blazer on Friday
and damned near killed myself. Must not have been enough trash, plastic water bottles and DD cups rolling around back there!!
