    Nah, trucks get stuck in snow all the time. The tires are so expensive that a lot of people don’t bother getting winter tires. Rear wheel drive trucks (very common) are notoriously bad because there just isn’t enough weight in the back to get traction (many people put bags of sand in the bed in winter for traction). 4WD encourages more confident driving, but 4WD doesn’t help with braking.

    Don’t buy a truck for winter driving, buy snow tires and chains. That’ll help you stop and turn, which is far more important than accelerating.
