Diesel trucks are going to struggle in the snow because of the heavy engine up front. The nice thing is they have the torque to handle heavy loads put in the bed for traction. My Truck is a 1 ton dually 4x4. The dually rear end doubles the surface area and in theory should be horrible in snow. I loaded the bed with unseasoned Red Oak and it does great in the snow. If it is fresh deep snow I might need 4x4 but otherwise I drive around in 2 wheel drive.
Pertaining to the front tow hooks, they stink. I have an assortment of straps and d-rings in the truck in case myself or someone else needs help.

This isn't the load that is in my truck for traction but it shows the truck doesn't squat and can handle a good sized load for traction.
