Few things...

1) I think you mean 2001 4.4..not 4.1
2) What kind of tires do you have on it? What size? Is your traction control working?
3) If you have all season it should do fine, winter tires even better..

I have 20" all season tires and they do decent in the snow..Never been stuck.. I'm not saying its the greatest in the snow with my setup but it does the job...Also you might consider shifting to second gear to start off when starting from a dead stop.. Driving style matters the most in the snow...
