Depending on the size of the truck, you want to put enough weight in so that you can see that there is a load on the truck.

Diecast car brand. Not Pitting them against each other.?

A one ton truck will need more weight than a 1/2 ton. On a normal 1/2 ton truck, I would put 150-200 pounds of sand (in bags) over each of the read wheels. Sand is good, because it can also be used to provide traction if you do get stuck!!

Several hundred pounds, at least. But a front wheel drive car would be better. I leave the pickup in the driveway when the roads are slick.

Drivers license in Texas?

Depends on the load bearing capacity of your truck, but on a 1/2 ton p/u if I had a bed liner, I would put about the minimum amount of loose sand I could get away with (I would start with about 200lb and work up from there), and use a cover on it to keep it as dry as possible. Reason I would go with the minimum is because more load is more gas consumption and with loose sand, because in case of an accident, I'd be flinging sand not a damaging projectile(s).

in michigan, how long does it take for points to get dropped from your licence?

I found what works well is garbage bags filled with water. place about 6 of them in the bed at the tail gate and let them freeze. This will give you about 5 to 6 hundred pounds. It also helps to reduce tire pressure If you don't run chains. Reducing tire pressure by 5 pounds really helps.
