0....Just go up the road sideways, 3rd gear, pedal to the metal HAHA
We dont have a pick-up but we have 2 vans that we use. We usually dont put anything in the back of the RWD Aerostar and it does pretty good...but could use 150# or so back there. The Windstar is Front wheel drive, so we just let the traction control do its thing.

last winter I threw in 800 lbs. that is a little overkill. It kept me from throwing rocks at peoples windshields though. I don't like the look of mudflaps. The low profile ones look good but they break so easily its hardly worth the investment.

My current truck doesn't have any in it.
I used to be all for sand bags till I got in a wreck a few years ago.
If I hadn't had a tool box on my truck, I would have been a goner....that tool box kept my head from being decapitated.

I gotta get some weight in the back, 'coz right now I dont have any traction unless its hauling some tools and ladder...but its not loaded w/heavy tools that often...So I need some weight on a regular basis.
I dont use the tool box (its for sale).. but need to get around in the bed, so I was going to use large square cement patio slabs so I can crawl over them to get to the back. - Sounds Ok....
