It will be a monster in the snow. I bought my Ram when we were living up in Wisconsin. Went from owning a two wheel drive Ford with cheap snow tires to the 4wd Ram with the small lift, and oversized M+S rated tires. It was awesome, the first deep snow which used to be a struggle in the old truck, I was unstoppable. Roads not plowed, who cares, good times. Now we are back down in Texas so the occasional ice or off road for hunting is all the truck sees. Make certain to get the underside protected if you will be up in the salt and snow.
