Or candy cane the tires with towstrap (boards optional)? Or this product. He seems like he knows what he's doing. Maybe sometimes it's just faster to stick with Plan A.
That is a very different product. Zip ties bad. Zip Grip good. This is much more like Trac Grabber which is also excellent.
They aren't good for day-to-day driving on snow. They're great if you're stuck in snow or mud and need some quick traction to get a few ft out.
to my knowledge, that year it didnt. hence the reason i said pulse the throttle. little bursts of low gear input and it should give more grip than normal. then again, i got THESEfor a friend with an older non crawl tacoma. worked like a charm
It's the store version of what's in the video, here
They produce things like this, more expensive than a chuck of wood but same thing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BDWRECU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eNMCCb84433CP
Or have a couple of these handy..

This is a cool emergency hack.
But if you can prepare, you can also buy "4x4 tire blocks" that do the same, and have a lower risk of damaging your car.

Product that can help if you get stuck. RWD is only a problem when you're driving the wheels so be disciplined and use light throttle unless your tires are pointed straight. And snow tires, like everyone else has said.
Tire Teeth steel traction aids at $129 a pair.
Truck Claws aluminum traction aids at $159 a pair.
TracGrabber rubber traction aids at $99-$129 a pair.
Its more than 2 seconds in snow for following distances,

This site recommends 6-10 secs
also they make some neat snow accessories for tires if chains are not allowed.

They make accessories to put on tires once stuck also.

Also down shifting into a lower gear in automatics works wonders in for slowing down without braking hard.
