Fill the bed

When the wheelbase, size and horsepower stays about the same, and you cut the weight, a vehicle tends to want to scamper about in handling when road conditions are less than ideal, like when it rains or snows. -Ribald Conservative

So do like pickmup drivers always do, fill the bed with snow, hay bales, or (always a favorite) firewood.

Weight loss problem resolved.
