Actually, the "track" system has been around for quite some time. I remember seeing these almost 5 years ago so they're not new.The only difficulty is the price. A set of "GoTracks" for a stadard 4 X 4 will cost almost half as much as the original price of the vehicle back then ($15K-$20K) but they may have come down some in price by now. And the tracks wear out very quickly when driven on pavement since they are rubber snowmobile tracks. Just sayin.....But if you have money to burn or an application that requires them, you too can be the only guy in town that gets around in severe snow storms. They also make a trax system that replaces your rear wheels only.

Dan,I think that it's already available in Canada,if I'm right the company is from Quebec and they make after market products for skidoo's like lift kits and such.Nice idea and be great for the oil fields up in the north.

I've seen them applied to snow blowers and they seem to work better than the ones with just plain tires..

And it's so easy to put them on. Just position them exactly right - in the snow. Then drive your 4,000 lb 4WD onto the front ones. Make a U-turn and then back up exactly right onto the rears. If I were ever able to do that, I would never take them off. I'd buy a second truck for the warm weather.

I saw a set of them demo-ed in uptate NY years ago. Very impressive, but putting them on has got to be tough.

EDIT: This looks even better - a bolt-on, and not too expensive.
