    Drive like you have an egg between your foot and the throttle. Same with the brakes. If you mash either, you will have problems.

    A few options for traction aids are.
    Add extra weight in the bed, something like sandbags.
    Studded snow tires.
    Tire chains.

    put either sand bags or cat litter in the bed! for two reasons; 1.) adds wait to benefit traction & 2.) if you get stuck you can pour that cat litter or sand in the snow for traction.

    Easy on the gas, feather your breaks. Most importantly, drive slow and keep a safe distance between you and any vehicles around you.
