Default Winters here, how much weight do you have in the truck?
Well, today, I had the unfortunate reality that speed on icy roads is not a good thing. Truck went through a fence and into a field. Part of the blame goes to my bald tires, part goes to no four wheel drive, but most goes to my stupidity.

So, I went and got some sand bags. Four 80# sand bags over my rear axle. Makes a hell of a difference.

Just curious what everybody else has. I am thinking of getting two more 60# ones, but I haven't decided yet.

Other than the weight of my tonneau cover, I have no weight whatsoever.
