The SHURTRAX Auto/SUV Traction Aid is a water-filled weight bag built for drivers who lose rear-wheel grip when the weather turns. It fills with 12 gallons (45 L) of water to add roughly 100 lbs of ballast over the rear axle, the spot where lighter rear-drive cars, crossovers, and sport utility vehicles need it most. Where loose sandbags shift and rupture, this unit holds its shape and stays put. It's a practical pickup for anyone driving through spring rains, slush, or packed winter snow who wants steadier handling without bolting anything to the vehicle.
Construction is tough woven nylon mesh with a heavy vinyl impregnation, and the package weighs about 3.05 lbs empty before you add water. Internal baffles divide the bag so the water mass doesn't surge forward on hard stops or slide sideways through turns, which keeps the added weight planted and predictable. Integrated grommets let you strap it down tight in the trunk or cargo area. The kit ships complete with the ShurTrax traction weight, a siphon pump, and a Super Union water connection fitting for filling and draining. SHURTRAX rates the material to handle temperatures down to -40°F (-40°C), so it stays serviceable through hard winters. The unit measures 36" x 24" x 3" and backs the build with a 3-year No-Hassle warranty.
Drop it in the cargo area when the forecast calls for rain, ice, or snow, fill it with a hose, and drain it through the siphon pump when conditions clear. Because the weight sits over the drive wheels, you get better launch traction and more composed handling without permanent changes to the vehicle. It pairs well with a secured cargo setup, so look at our cargo bar and cargo net options to keep gear in place alongside it.

Filled with 12 gallons (45 L) of water, the SHURTRAX traction aid adds approximately 100 lbs (45 kg) of ballast. Positioned over the rear wheels, that weight improves launch grip and overall handling in rain, snow, and ice without any permanent modification to the vehicle.
No. Internal baffles divide the bag into sections so the water mass cannot surge forward on hard stops or slide sideways through turns. That keeps the added weight planted and predictable rather than sloshing freely like a single open container would.
The material is rated to handle temperatures down to -40°F (-40°C) per manufacturer specifications, so it stays serviceable through hard winters. If you expect deep freezing, drain the unit with the included siphon pump when it is not in use.

There is no installation. Set the bag in your cargo area, fill it with a hose, and secure it through the grommets. When conditions clear, use the siphon pump to drain it. It adds no permanent hardware to the vehicle.
