I think it's mostly that there's no weight (relatively speaking) over the rear wheels. Also the way pickup trucks are geared. Good for pulling, not so good for starting on a slippery surface.
In my Frontier I can control it by slipping the clutch (which I don't really like to do more than necessary) or starting in 2nd gear. In general, every truck I've ever owned handled and felt better with about 500lbs in the bed.
