Living in Ohio myself, we don't get feet of snow very often, at least in the southern half. Most of populated Ohio is relatively flat, you gotta go south and east in the state to get to terrain like you're describing, toward Pennsylvania and West Virginia. 

I have an old 4×4 Ford Ranger for bad weather and as my DD, but 4×4 isn't as necessary as people think if you're talking southern areas. Most people never use it, or they use it a couple times a year. Usually road crews will keep up with the weather, and they like to pre-treat roads. This last round of drifting snow is a more rare thing. I have 3 acres and my driveway is unpaved gravel, so I use it more often than most. 

Modern traction control in RWD vehicles is way better than the traction control in my Ranger, I've driven my 2017 V6 Mustang in several inches of snow a few times and didn't have any problems. Modern traction control computers detect slippage and actuate the brakes so slightly, you don't notice it. It will also reduce the throttle if it detects slippage. I turned traction control off once and tried driving, I couldn't get it to move. Haha. You should be fine in a V6 RWD truck. Just take it easy, or wait a little while for road crews to get ahead of things. 

If you can upgrade to 4wd your life will certainly be easier. But you’ll find plenty of 2-wheelers in your neighborhood too. Back in the day, I lived in Minnesota with a rear wheel drive 1987 S-10 and did just fine. 
Putting a couple sand bags in the back over the axle can make a big difference. But even more is tires. Get a proper set of snow tires, for sure. You can also carry a set of MaxxTraxx with you for sticky situations, and chains (if they allow them in your area).

Well of course rear wheel drive V8 pickup trucks are pretty s***** and snow and ice if it's deep because they have too much power to the rear wheels and the weight is in the front or the engine is you are a better office four-wheel drive on us
