Looking to go from Ranger to Ram 1500 with winter driving being the reason. Which trim?

I can see that even Tradesman has an option for "anti-spin," which appears to be the name Ram gives an LSD (limited slip differential). Somehow, my Ranger doesn't have an LSD like the ones I've had since the 90s. Anyway, the Big Horn has several modes including Auto, Tow, Snow, Sport and Off-Road (4x4). Does this snow mode in particular help significantly in winter/icy conditions over just the anti-spin? I would like to offroad a bit, but winter driving is the priority. I live in upstate NY. If those modes matter for winter driving, is Big Horn the lowest trim i can get away with for for the best winter traction? Thanks!
 
Snow mode must be new. Our 2020 Limited doesn’t have that. But 4x4 and anti-spin diff has worked great for the Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho winters. In my opinion tires are more important than any specialty mode a vehicle might have. Make sure the tires you choose have the 3PMSF symbol.
