Do you put weight in back of your truck?

first year i did it , i put like 200lb in the back and got new tires does great.

 

the back of trucks are like women, xtra weight in the back isn't all its cracked up to be

 

sir i respectfully disagree ..... mo cushion fo da pushin

 

We're expecting 4+ inches here tonight, which is very rare. Unfortunately I'm on call tonight, so if I'm out, I'll be out in the worst. I got 8 50# bags in the bed, half of which I intend to use for spreading if needed. With that, some new Michelin AT/2's, and an easy foot I hope I'll be ok.

 

This cost me 6 bucks

 

Sorry dude , but that just sounds funny to me .

Out in the worst of 4 inches of snow . LOL

 

x2. 4 inches? We have had 24 inches in 24 hours.. I drove everywhere I needed to, just fine.

I guess in a place where you don't normally get snow it may sound bad, but I think you should be ok

 

Of course I live in Texas so there is not a great need for it. The snow we do get usually shuts everything down so I can sit my ass on my couch watching TV.

 

Look what these guys use.

 

I have a 7ft6'' sno-way plow on my Tacoma and throw about 300lb in the back when I plow. Without plow in snow I carry about 150lb plus some extra gear. I have the GENERAL GRABBER AT2 tires and winter traction is excellent. If Iam pushing really heavy stuff I kick in the reart diff-lock. No troubles to date at 80,000 miles.

 

Yes...about 150 pounds...made my own "pet rock" with a Contico black plastic trunk filled with some extra bags of gravel and sand I had out behind the shed. I find it helps. Also running Bridgestone Blizzak Studless tires for the first time this year...best winter tire I've ever run. This is my 9th year in Alaska.

 

Definitely put some where around 240 lbs in the back!

 

I put 240#, back end slipped a little at a real slick corner. I didn't want to have the back slide 90 degrees on every turn.

I put a cargo bar just in front of wheels to block the sand from sliding forard., seemed to be the right place.

 

I have about 450 lbs of stuff in the back all the time, tools, bugout bag, recovery gear, and other stuff. so while I do not put anything extra for the winter time snow. I do put "weight' in the back, it is a truck after all.

 

Had some weight in there yesterday, cooler full of fish, dive gear and a 5 gallon jug of water.

Ya, helps alot...

Luckily the snow here in South Florida is non-existent. I do however have 4WD should the need arise.
