Weight for driving in snow

[zerocool1]

kitty litter, sand, or salt could help

if you live where there is snow you should own a four wheel drive or a front wheel drive.

concrete blocks don't look so nice in the back of your head when they come through the back window and knock you out during an accident.

My truck was 4wd, you still need weight for those back tires to get traction.

I had a 2wd pickup while I lived in the upper peninsula of Michigan for 5 years, snow tires and 500lbs of weight in the back and i never got stuck. I would even pull others out of snow banks with that setup.

i live in an area that has snow on the ground usually 5 months of the year. i have never had to put weight in the back of a 4 wd pickup to drive it properly in the snow/ice.

usually i just tool around in a front wheel drive car in the snow. i've had no problems with that set up either.

Why don't you microwave a few cats to death and throw them in the back? Enough cooked pets should add up to enough weight. Afterall, they are just pets...

you could always use big bags of lawn fertilizer. That's what I used in my old station wagon. Plus the added bonus is you can use it on your lawn in the spring.

From what I have seen around my area, which gets lots of snow, 2 Wheel Drive > 4 Wheel Drive most of the time.
