Product Description
The ShurTrax All Weather Traction Aid for Compact Pickup Trucks and SUVs adds handling, traction control and traction weight over the rear axle, preventing axle hop and wheel hop. Simply add up to 300 pounds of water using a simple garden hose, and the included fill fitting. Four brass grommet tie-downs allow for safe, secure weight that improves vehicle balance, handling, cornering and traction on wet, slippery roads. ShurTrax answers the safety concerns of alternative sources of weight such as sandbags, concrete blocks, cord wood and other potential projectiles. Baffles are die-electrically welded into place to prevent surging during cornering. No need to worry about carrying cargo on top of ShurTrax -- it has been tested to support up to 500 pounds. ShurTrax integrity is protected by a tough 25 millimeter vinyl outer chamber. This outer chamber vinyl is UV resistant and reinforced with woven nylon mesh for long service. The inner chamber is also 25 millimeters thick and flexes, enabling a smooth ride and improved handling. Included is a three year, "no-hassle" warranty against any defects in material and workmanship.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can really feel the traction improvement, February 6, 2007
This review is from: ShurTrax LW-0048 All Weather Traction Aid for Compact Pickup Trucks/SUVs (Misc.)
I am very pleased with this product. It was easy to install and it seems to be very good quality. It is currently frozen but it is designed to freeze. the added weight is distributed over the whole truck bed and there is still room for cargo. I used to use sand barrels and this took up space and would shift around all the time.There hasn't been any real snowfall yet but I notice the difference in handling in rain and on icy roads.At the end of the winter I don't have to carry all that sand and store it for next year. I just have to pull out the plug and let the water drain out and put it away behind the seat of my truck.

Works as designed. I could tell the difference in the handling in my 2004 Chevy Colorado. The bag was easy to fill and even easier to empty. I will use this rather than concrete blocks during the cold months.

This review is from: ShurTrax LW-0048 All Weather Traction Aid for Compact Pickup Trucks/SUVs (Misc.)
This item arrived exactly as advertised and was simple to install in my 2005 Nissan (Frontier) truck. Filling it up was a snap. After a few months of use it appears that water is escaping somewhere, although there is no apparent leak - maybe this is normal.

The extra weight made a big difference in ride comfort, especially when going over speed bumps and other uneven road surfaces. It also helps to provide that much-needed extra traction on slippery roads (after rain) and has also helped to improve stopping distances - despite the extra weight. I am now waiting for snow to fall, so we can give it the real test.
