Sounds about right. I had an 06 2500 and I drive an 07 1500 for work. Similar drivetrain IIRC. I got the front half of my work truck stuck in snow and the back on solid ice only would spin two tires in 4wd. ended up wedging tire chains under both rears just to get it to back out enough to slip them on

cooper ST maxx is what I run up here in Alberta, in 4wd I don't usually have any issues, the front differential is an OPEN style so therefore all the power going to the front will always go to the tire with the LEAST traction

If you're stuck in 4wd try turning the front tires back and forth and rock the truck back and forth, that should get you out of 80% of situations, for all the rest call a buddy or start diggin

Snow can be very hard to off road in because the density changes from soft to hard in a hurry, I know that if you hit a 3' tall drift you will almost go right over top of it
