I wouldn't say "cure". Make a little better maybe.

I get to compare the Dodge dually to the GMC Yukon 4x4 and a Subaru Outback and a Ford F-150, since they're all in my ragtag fleet of vehicles here... and the Subaru kicks all of them in the back side until the snow reaches its front bumper. Then it's a toss up between the Yukon and the F-150. The dually is just god-awful in snow.

And it makes sense. Half the weight on each contact point in the back. It'll slide out the rear end in a heartbeat. Rightly so. Physics.

But for towing heavy there's no better. Barely even know the giant trailer is back there, even in pretty sporty winds.
