"Terrific product. Recommended by a neighbor and it has solved our snow/ice traction issues in a very simple and effective way. Also bought one for our BMW X5 AWD -makes a big difference in that vehicle too. We have a mile of dirt road to get to our home outside of Santa Fe and I now have more confidence gettng in and out, it is no longer a "white knuckle" trip. Over all better ride in the big truck so will leave it in year round. Great price too."

"The ShurTrax came nicely boxed and was easy to lay out flat in the back bed of the pick-up. The installation was a bit tricky as the connection to the hose took some effort and the opening had to be pulled out from being embedded within the ShurTrax bed. It does slide a bit while driving but I have not yet purchased bungy cords to tie it down."

"I do not carry very much weight in the bed of my truck. My last truck was full of tools and oilfield parts, which made a huge increase in traction on ice and snow in the past. I heard about this product in a magazine, and thought I would geve it a try. I just installed it about three days before our first ice and snow of the year, and it made a great improvement in the traction of my truck. I am very pleased with this product."

"The concept is a great idea. Had my first snow storm and I could totally feel the difference. happy I purchased this product. The only bad thing was when filling the product not quite sure when you are at the 3 inch mark it's a judgement call you have to make. must supply own bungee cords. grade:A-"

ShurTrax@6200 Ft.- F-150 4 WD

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

"We live in the beautiful, green mountains of south-central New Mexico. Unfortunately, this year was predicted to be a light snow year and so far, it's true. Like the other reviews, the hardest part of the install was getting the fill spout to unfold. Had to use pliers; be careful! You can damage the plastic filler neck if you use the wrong tool. Hard to gauge the 3 inch fill recommendation; we used a plastic ruler. So far, the ShurTrax is working as advertised. The added wt. helps with ride quality. Of course the 4.6L works a bit harder, but we expected that. Hopefully, we will see some snow soon and can test it as it was intended. Ours is secured with rubber hook straps and has held securely. Have hauled heavy cardboard boxes and large, full plastic storage bins on top of the ShurTrax with no problem. Some nights, the water freezes completely, but the bag has held. Thus far, a quality product that seems to work as advertised."

"Just as described and does just what I need in the winter for more traction. I was able to test this out on packed snow and ice, other cars couldn't even climb the hill and I didn't even need 4x4. The only drawback is the fill feels cheap and fits poorly, hopefully this will not be an issue in later years."

"Nice product and easy to install - just tie it off so avoid slipping and fill with water. I did have a problem extending the fill spout using the pull tabs - be careful. The plastic nozzle is quite rigid when cold. Other than that - it should work fine and provide enough weight to keep the rear in touch with the road."

"The ShurTrax bed weight system is everything that I expected from the reviews. It was easy to install and fill, and it actually improves the ride of the truck (although the acceleration is not quite as good). I recommend that you buy straps from Home Depot (or similar) to secure as mine did move when I started fast from a light and made an immediate sharp turn."

"I have tried sand bags, actual weight plates you see in a gym. The weights never stayed in place and the sand was a HUGE mess. The ShurTrax is BY FAR a fantastic idea that I have already recommended to a few of my coworkers with pickups. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!!!"

"It does a good job providing traction. The fitting that allows you to connect a garden hose is worthless. Neither set of threads will tighten enough to stop leaking, so the only way to fill it is to hold the hose in place and not worry about getting everything wet."

"the full size provides a great way to get traction in all weather. i found that it does not move around at all on my vehicle, so no straps neccessary. this may be a different case according to which truck you own or bed lining. didn't really notice a change in gas mileage when full, but i also have a gaylords fiberglass x2000 tonneau cover with speedstur wing also purchased from autoanything. Thanks for doing business guys."
