I wonder if these things are heavy enough to melt ice from the pressure, making them glide as if on skates.

What? That's not how skates work. And, pressure does not melt ice.

When two surfaces rub together, there's friction. Friction is proportional to the normal force ie the weight of the car. Friction creates heat. Heat melts ice. Melted ice causes truck to slide, same as skates.

lol,, no. This is not accurate. First, the original question is simply if the vehicle is heavy enough to melt ice from pressure. Nothing about rubbing or friction or anything. So my reply only covers pressure. Pressure does not melt ice. Also " Ice skating works because metal skate blades glide with very little friction over a thin layer of water on the ice surface. At one time, scientists thought skaters created the water layer by melting the surface layers of ice through the pressure of their body weight. However, recent studies disproved that explanation and it is now believed ice is always slippery because the molecules in its top-most layer behave like liquid water." This explanation would cover cars as well.

If he just took his foot off the brake the tires would be able to roll and he could have probably saved it.
