    Does anyone put any weight into the bed of the truck for the winter season? I was thinking of putting something heavy like a tractor tire in the back to add some weight. I don't want to do concrete bags because I'm worried the bags will bust during wet weather.

    Is your truck a 2wd?

    It's not a bad idea to add weight to the bed of your truck, even if it is 4WD.
    Just make sure the added weight is secure, and doesn't become a projectile in an accident.

    I've got the Nitto Grappler G2 and my tires tend to spin when the ground is wet. I just want to be prepared

    Could you imagine if you would have gone with the fastest color? Uncontrollable. Lol

    The throttle response on the Tundra is rather impressive. Read through the link that @COMiamiFan posted. Good stuff and ideas in there.

    White becomes one with the snow; so would have had super duper traction.
