Are 2wd trucks good in the snow?

It depends whether the snow is plowed or not?
Most places that has regular snow are plowed so you should have traction.
Now, if you are in TX and it has snow, then you should be worried.
The city here don't have snow plow. LOL!!!

If you have a limited slip rear differential helps tremendously. Regardless, if you don't want to/can't afford to put a new pair of Winter (not All-Season) tires on the rear, a much cheaper and great option is a set of radial "Z" type roller chains. Definitely about 750-900 pounds of sand bags/tubes between the rear axle/tailgate. Put a 2x8" board on edge behind the wheel wells from bed wall to bed wall to prevent the sand bags/tubes from shifting/sliding forward on a panic stop or impact. Stay light on the throttle from stops/while turning and the same with the brakes. Use coasting well in advance to slow to a safe braking speed for a stop light or a turn, don't lock your front tires.
