      So far so go

      I purchased the bed weight for more traction. My truck is rear wheel drive and every time I go over these train tracks near my house I can feel the back half lift off the ground and shift over. I put it to the test. Sure enough the weight helped my rear wheels stay on the ground and keep traction. I'm looking forwards to this winter for the next test.If you are questioning which size to get the 400lbs fits perfect for medium sized beds. I highly recommend this product.

      So Far So Good

      I installed the ShurTrax last weekend in my Toyota Tacoma. It is solidly built and easy to install. I haven't had a chance to try it in the snow yet, but I am definitely seeing a difference on wet pavement.

      Great Idea with Poor Execution

      Yes this product works. It works very well actually, once it freezes, and I thought it was a great idea. The problem is the execution on the manufacturers part. You pay a premium price for the shurtrax, but you get quality that would be second rate for even Chinese goods. The product feels very cheap and flimsy in your hands. The fill port and cap are very cheap. Cant even tighten the cap snugly, or it will pop out of the threads. The filler nozzle is a joke. Same stuff as milk jug caps.

      2009 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Excellent Traction for Snow

      Installed in 09 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab and it fit perfectly. If you have a box or tool storage chest in the back, you're going to have to install a do-it-yourself platform. The truck bed has slots in it to put in lumber and you can install a plywood sheet on top of them. That's what I did to my truck and I also have a camper shell so it made it easy. If you don't have a camper shell, you're going to have to remove it since the ShurTrax goes up to the front bed liner wall.

      ShurTrax traction weight

      It is a great addition to the stability of my truck in slippery conditions. It was a real pain to fill with water becouse it's very difficult to secure the hose to the device supplied for filling!

      Picture is misleading. No tie downs are included!

      I haven't even installed it yet, but it loses 2 stars right away because in the product picture it shows tie downs. No where in the description does it say that tie downs are NOT included. You shouldn't have to scour other reviews to determine what is and isn't included in the packaging. The product image needs to be corrected as well as the description to clearly indicate that tie downs are NOT included.

      Highly Recommend

      I assist Sheriff's office doing ESU (emergency service unit). During recent snowstorms, I was able to navigate to and from scenes much, much easier because of the extra weight. Doesn't take anytime at all to fill up and after securing it...I was good to go. Good idea and great product!

      GREAT PRODUCT!

      There is a noticeable difference immediately after installation. My truck handles turns, acceleration and braking better in adverse weather and feels more stable overall. This is a great product and well worth the price. The only negatives i would say is that it didn't come with the straps (which I think should be included in the price) and when I went to loosen the water valve cap, one of the handles broke off. Aside from that I would definitely recommend this product, especially in the winter

      Ballast for Brake Testing

      We purchased to of these "bladders" to use as ballast for performance testing of brake friction materials. They work much better, and are easier to use, than the "farm tanks" we have used in the past.

      This is pretty easy and worthwhile for plowing

      Works pretty well for an extra few hundred pounds. Fast and easy to install. I have a bed mat so sliding isn't an issue even without the rubber straps. I added 4 gallons of rv antifreeze to prevent hard freezing and don't notice any sloshing while driving or plowing. Wish they made it even bigger to completely fill the bed and get even more weight. But so far so good.

      Shur Trax bladder

      I recently installed the ShurTrax bladder into my Ram 1500 Laramie for winter driving in our local mountains (elevation 6500 feet). It has been a mild winter in the SoCAL mountains so I have not been challenged yet by weather and roads. I feel safe knowing that a water bladder is providing secure weight distributed evenly over the rear axel versus concrete blocks and other possible projectiles of weight. It has provided a smoother ride on highway road travel. Happy with purchase.

      Design issue

      Easy install: just lay in truck. Problem arises when an attempting to fill; fill valve is nearly impossible to use. It is a really poorly executed design & I expect that it will not survive. All the positive aspects of this device are more than offset by the really poor fill valve; I can not find enough negative adjectives to adequately describe this really lousy design & as a result of this issue it is doubtful that I will buy anymore.
