Shurtrax CLW0048 LW-0048 All Weather Traction Aid for Compact Pickup Trucks/SUVs
February 21, 2019 - Comment
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.

Be Careful How You Tie It Down ShurTrax seems to help with traction as designed. Some things to note:1. Difficult to fill. The fill valve doesn’t just pop out to thread the hose adapter. You’ll probably need an extra set of hands to thread the adapter on to the recessed fill valve. It can be done this way, it’s just a struggle.2. Do NOT use standard cargo straps to tie this down. One good bump in the road will cause the grommet or entire corner of the unit to tear. Speaking from experience…
Great idea, poor materials I could have sworn I wrote a review of this product but it’s not here. Anyway, I bought my first unit in 2011. It worked as advertised the first 2 winters after which it sprang a leak. I patched it and used it the next winter but it continued to leak. I made it through that winter and purchased another one in 2014. Evidently, the company changed materials used to make the units. Whereas the one I bought in 2011 was more flexible, this new one was more brittle and stiff. Within a few weeks…
