I had about 150 pounds in my TD last winter, even nicer with the load leveler in the back, didn't ever know it was back there til you took a corner too fast. It would go threw anything though. I was coming back home from state college last winter in a snow storm, about 8 inches on the ground already, it was a nice ride home, a lot of other people were having problems.....I WASN'T!!! I got a set of winter treads w/ steel studs, it'll go real well this winter......if it ever snows! overkill??? hell no!
