Get some weight in the back of the truck. X's in 2wd (or that only have 2wd) suffer big-time trying to push the engine-weighted front tires through the snow. Throw a couple 50lb sand bags under the luggage in the back hatch and it'll help alot. If the back springs are noticeably compressed, you probably have too much weight. Of course, this advice only applies for getting the X moving. Nothing helps to slow you down or turn on the slick stuff (good tires help marginally). Like the others said- plenty of room to stop, plan your driving moves well in advance so you can just kind of "coast" to where you want to be without using the brakes.
