    Terrible in snow when in 2wd

    As mentioned, that tread pattern is not going to perform well in snow. Not what it was designed for.

    Intermittent no start 2019 4Runner

    Aftermarket remote start systems are notorious for causing issues. Since you have already replaced the battery that would be my next move. Uninstall remote start and see if the problem persists after restoring wiring to stock.
