i Manage to drive a 2wd truck up here in the winter. Get a set of wheel chains and some empty sandbags to throw in the back and you will be good to go.
I don't see myself needing chains. i've seen snow a total of 3 times in my whole life.. lol. but yea, I'm going to stock that truck up with multiple methods of getting un-stuck. upgrade the tires once my budget allows it. i'll probably invest in a heavy "come-along", and just the standard planks of wood and sandbags. once I arrive at the BOL, the RWD shouldn't be a big concern. we ride around the property in a little RWD Ranger all the time and never get stuck. it's nothing but that hard red clay out there. but around the NOLA area it's nothing but mud, mud, mud. hell, half of the suburbs surrounding the city was a swamp just 40 years ago. they literally just dredged that shit up and built on top of it. lots of houses in certain areas are literally SINKING because the ground is so soft. needless to say, leveling and foundation repair is big business down here. probably the most ridiculous example I can think of is the time I pulled off to the side of the highway driving the lady's Explorer to take a piss (it was urgent.. lol) and got stuck ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD...lol.
