With a robust construction featuring a 25mm thick outer chamber and UV-resistant vinyl, it supports up to 500 pounds of cargo while ensuring secure weight distribution with brass grommet tie-downs. ## 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.. Review: 2000 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 2wd - 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 Review: ShurTrax works exactly as claimed - I purchased this product several months ago for my compact pickup. Product is excellent. Very easy to use. Filling was a piece of cake and anchoring with rubber straps was a breeze. The increase in stability when driving on wet and slippery surfaces has been dramatic. Previously, without ShurTrax, I had to be concerned constantly with fishtailing when driving in the rain. ShurTrax has alleviated that problem. Carrying cargo with the ShurTrax has not been a problem either. When carrying something that is sharp and may puncture the bag, I simply place a piece of 1/4" plywood over the ShurTrax, anchor it with bungee cords and it works fine. Otherwise, I just place it right on the bag and haven't had any problems. ShurTrax claims that the bag can hold 500lbs. and that seems to be the case. Haven't had the opportunity to drive in the snow yet but don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a great help. Have had the bag freeze and thaw several times without any problems. Couldn't be happier with the product and the company. ShurTrax has lived up to everything it claims. ## Features - Safely adds handling, traction control and traction weight over the rear axle - Brass grommet tie-downs allow for safe, secure weight - Durability ensured with 25 millimeter thick outer chamber, UV-resistant vinyl, woven nylon mesh reinforcement - Tested to support up to 500 pounds of cargo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | ShurTrax | | Brand | Shurtrax | | Model | All Weather Traction Aid | | Item Weight | 7.2 pounds | | Product Dimensions | 18 x 3 x 15.5 inches | | Country of Origin | China | | Item model number | CLW0048 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | Yes | | Manufacturer Part Number | LW0048 | | OEM Part Number | LW0048 | ## Images ![Mid-size Truck Traction Aid - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K6-TsancL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2000 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 2wd *by M***T on March 20, 2015* 2020 Update: I got Michelin Defender tires for my 2wd Ranger and no longer use any weight in the back.

Mike from Detroit ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ShurTrax works exactly as claimed *by S***1 on January 12, 2012* I purchased this product several months ago for my compact pickup. Product is excellent. Very easy to use.

Fills quickly and does not leak. If you own a gladiator, it fits fine but the cutouts for the wheel wells don’t align at all. So far it hasn’t been cold enough for the bag to freeze completely. I have been able to drive in freezing rain, wet snow, black ice, and off road. I rarely need to use 4wd and the added weight from the bag makes for a stable and strait driving truck on slippery surfaces. I live in West MI where we get plenty of heavy wet snow and icy conditions. --- ## 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.ph/products/12421411-mid-size-truck-traction-aid](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/12421411-mid-size-truck-traction-aid) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
