I'm using 600lbs of sand in my club cab v8. (10 60lb bags) So far, its
worked great over a wide range of weather. Fortunately, I have not yet had
to use any of it for traction. Though I have come close... One of those
nights where its dropping those big, fluffy snowflakes so fast you can barely
see 6 feet in front of you... I drove partially off the road once, and
about 10 feet off the road a second time. (No ditch, fortunately.) The
truck backed out just fine both times.
