I just bought a 03 X 2WD thinking it would never see much snow, and within two weeks of purchase I ended up having to drive it up to NY (I'm in DC) for work. 6" of snow later and I was quickly shown how bad it handles (if you can even call it that) in the snow/slush- downright scary...almost undriveable at anything more than a VERY SLOW pace.

When I returned to DC I unloaded the stock tires and replaced them with A/T's and added about 150lbs of playsand in the rear - now it's a whole new truck in the snow! We just received 6" of new white stuff here and it handled it just fine. Those stock "AW" tires are junk in anything but dry pavement.
