Last winter I didn’t add any weight to the back of my crew cab truck. However the winter before that I put just in front of the rear wheels, in a large Rubbermaid container 400 lbs of salt for additional traction support. I'm thinking this winter of adding a total fo 500 lbs.
Any of you other truck owner add any weight in the back for traction? How much?

I don't have any weight in the back of my truck. I probably should but I've never had problems adjusting to slippery roads.

I have a big tool box in the back of my pickup. I drive with it year round.

I always added 500lbs of sand bags above the axles.

I dont think it is really necessary if you have a 4 wheel drive truck. However with a 2wd, it is probably needed considered it is RWD and no weight in the back.

I have a box built for the back of my truck I put 400lbs of salt in. It works pretty good and then it slides right out for my softner in the spring time.

I just keep my ATV in the back of my truck for winter. It works in adding weight plus if I get stuck I can get it out and ride away

I just have The Wife sit in the bed of my pickup. Nevermind I don't have a pickup.

Auto locking rear end, good a/t tires and about 350 lbs of sand in the bed. Never had a problem

When I had my truck, I would always just shovel the driveway and throw the snow in the bed. It's free, added enough weight, and would just melt away so I never had to unload anything when the weather started getting warmer and the roads were fine.

Two threads about adding weight to trucks in the winter?
I used to have a long bed F150, crew cab. I would put around 300lbs in the back. It didn't matter, I still got stuck all the time. Also, my dad totaled that truck about 18 months ago. He was ok, the truck was not.
Hope this helps.
