My '11 Z is one of the winter beaters; my wife drives it year-round. It's equipped with oversized winter tires to boost ground clearance. It also has paint protection film applied to numerous areas to resist paint chipping (the perk of having a very good friend who installs film for a living).
I myself drive a '16 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT (a twenty-foot long and six-thousand-pound Standard Crew) year-round, moreso in the winter. It does more than decent in the snow even with its mediocre all-terrain-type tires. The '16 is a 4WD which is my first 4WD truck; previous ones were 2WD. The automatic locking rear differential (not a limited-slip) and transfer case Auto 4WD mode in it allows for a, umm, "hooliganism close to complete abandon"
