    The quickest, easiest, and cheapest will likely be throwing bags of sand or salt (for water softener - then you always have it ready) in the back for added weight. You likely have an all season tire as well on there, so you could upgrade to more of an agressive tread tire which would help a little, but not a ton. If all else fails, you are looking at a 4X4 unfortunately.

    But the added weight will help in some capacity. Good luck.

    When you go to pull out, have all your passengers hop into the bed of the truck, the extra weight will give you the traction you need. Also you can make sure you top off your tank before you get to the lake, fuel weighs about 8lb per gallon 35 gal = 280 extra lbs.
