Hey all,

Winter is coming here in South-Central Canada, and I'm starting to look for sand bags for my '09 FX4. Does anyone have suggestions for how much weight should be over the rear axle? The truck's got Brand new Motomaster Total Terrain AT/3s on it. This is my first Ranger and first pickup truck in general. Thanks!

I use three hundred pounds in mine.

Thanks barneycat11...and how does that weight affect your gas mileage? I live about 40 minutes away from the city, and travel that 2-3 times a week.

I used to toss in 4 bags in my 2wd '98. In my 4x4 '07, I don't worry about it. I think 4 bags was in the 250lb to 300lb range.

On it's best day it only gets 18 mpg with or without the sand bags. The cold weather has the most effect.
