There are days that I would have to chain up my diesel if I wanted it to even get out of the yard. Instead, I just drive the Tacoma in inclement weather...the smaller vehicles do so much better in deep snow and/or on hills.
I nearly got stuck at the bottom of a local road a couple years back, as there were power lines down and I had to turn around. I was in the long bed Dodge and it took all the skill I had to just barely get back up the hill...wasn't even a crazy amount of snow for us, just the 2500/3500s weigh a bunch w/none of the weight over the rear axle.
The Tacoma...I can get around a lot of places without even putting in 4wd. In 4wd, I've pushed snow with the front bumper before, and it wasn't struggling that bad. Worst case scenario, I have to engage the locker. Lockers are an easy way to spin out at faster speeds, but are like a cheat code when crawling up a hill.
My best snow rig I ever had was an old 90's Toyota pickup that I put a straight axle under. It was built for 37's, but I was cheap and ran 35's on it. Friends and I used to take our rigs out to the national forest in the middle of winter...air the tires down to <5psi and just drive through the FS roads that were deemed impassible by most people.
Last Christmas, we had a storm that reeked havoc...I was without power for 8 days. The snow on the roof is lying, there was actually 2' of snow on the ground in the picture, ended up getting nearly 4' by the time it was done:
