Yes, and people tried that here by putting sand bags or concrete blocks in their trunks too; still nowhere near as safe or practical as 4WD or AWD, plus you are taxing your rear suspension. Many of those large heavy RWD cars from the 70s & 80s were equipped with leaf springs, and as they aged, their rear-ends would sag.
Again, not the best way to deal with the extreme winters we experience here in the Northeast.
