"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-"

"The rest of the ShurTrax system seems to be top notch. However the filler neck and plastic around it ruined a excellent rating for the product."
