I went from no weight in the back of my mid sized chevy colorado pickup with 4 wheel drive on. Worked just fine but it liked to fishtail while at a stop doing a 90 degree turn on slick surfaces. I then put 4 60lb sandbags in the back over the rear axle. Traction was perfect but the sand bags slid around a little and I hated the loss of space in my truck as a result. They were always getting in the way. I then found Shurtrax. I installed and added 2 gallons of RV antifreeze to keep it from freezing even though it says its designed to freeze. One big snow storm after in installed the Shurtrax here in AK I was blown away with how well my truck handled! I have Blizzak winter tires on the truck which are great but this added weight made my truck so much more capable, balanced and sure footed on the worst of winter driving. Everyone in Anchorage seemed to be in the ditch yesterday and I just drove around with a huge smile on my face. I can't speak to the durability yet as I just got it installed but have put 150lbs of ebikes on top of it and didn't have any issues. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great for winter pick up driving *by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023* It’s a very good product, I have used these before in other trucks. My wife and I had a lot of difficulty trying to pull the fill spout out. I was not happy with the water filling process ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars 2000 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 2wd *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2015* 2020 Update: I got Michelin Defender tires for my 2wd Ranger and no longer use any weight in the back. This bag still looks brand new though. I just don't use it anymore. Two ice storms and an 8" blizzard in a single week and I didn't drive any differently than I do in the summer. Way better than the Pirelli Skorpion garbage tires I had before. My best tip: get decent tires that are All-Season (not all-terrain) and you probably won't need any weight in the back at all. If you've done that and still are slipping, then this bag is fantastic for easily adding weight, and then easily draining it out in the spring.2000 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 2wd v6 3.0 automatic with eight year old 31" Pirelli Scorpion tires with only about 30k miles on them. Yes, I own a two wheel drive pickup truck in Michigan, but now it's nothing to be ashamed of.It did great in Detroit's terrible 2014/2015 winter. In May 2016 we also got snow. It never ends. I still have this bag and my old tires and have FUN in the snow still.We got 15" of snow overnight and I was able to not only get out of my driveway but drive around town in it. My neighbor's 4x4 Jeep for stuck in front of my house and their kids had to push them back in. Another neighbor's Cadillac which has front wheel drive was wedged at the bottom of they driveway. Then a Ram 1500 with a snowplow beached itself by driving in the snow tracks and tore something so bad an F-150 was chained to it to drag it back home. I'm not kidding: weight will get you moving but driving slower will allow you to steer. When you're at a stop sign in 15" of unplowed snow just barely hit the gas and crawl out, if you slam on the gas you'll just dig straight down and get stuck-even in a 4x4. This bag is great but it's not magic.I used to pile almost exactly 200lbs of cinder blocks in my truck (I weighed each one on a bathroom scale and wrote the weights in chalk on them). Cinder blocks that looked identical weighed anywhere from 24lbs to 34lbs --I weighed them because I could feel the differences while loading them. Anyway, the truck rear sagged more with this bag, so it truly does give you about 300lbs.Lay it flat and strap it down with firm straps. I used some old wire I had because bungy cords are too springy and will let the 300lbs move in the bed causing wear. Nylon rope would be fine too.I strap it down so it doesn't get abraded or scratch the truck. Probably overkill.My 6' styleside (straight, not flared) bed has anchors that are too far away from the corners to tighten bungies anyway, so I ran wire to the two anchors near the cab and two under the tailgate and to the bumper brackets. Bag was flat and tight.After using stiff wire to tie down four corners I laid a yardstick across the bed on top of the empty bag and marked the zero position (empty) on the side of the wheel humps. Then I filled with water until the bag was 3" tall.That's how I turned a two-wheel drive Ranger from something I literally couldn't get out of my short suburban driveway with into something I could get through 15" of snow with!After the thaw this week I first untied the wires and then pulled onto the angled part of my driveway. Pull the plug and the water drained for about 5 minutes.The underside was nice with no wear or tears evident. It lasted one winter and looks brand new.I'm still dumping cinder blocks around town. So nice not to be storing them year round.Get this bag, but drive slow in blizzards so you can still steer.With this purchase the $4600 gamble/savings I made 15 years ago when ordering my truck in two wheel drive instead of four finally paid off. The service schedule on a 4wd is way costlier too: I've never greased a transaxle and don't plan on it.Nothing shifting or scratching the bed and you get more weight. Weigh your cinder blocks on a bathroom scale. You may be putting less than you think in your truck. Also, this bag freezes nice and flat so you can still put things on top of it and use your bed.Update: 2018 and it still looks like new!Mike from Detroit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12421411-clw0048-lw-0048-all-weather-traction-aid-for-compact-pickup](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12421411-clw0048-lw-0048-all-weather-traction-aid-for-compact-pickup) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
