I don't know how much a sandbag weighs, but a hundred pounds over each wheel ought to do the job nicely. As long as you know the weight of each sandbag, I'm sure you can figure out how many you need.

A one hundred pound bag over each rear wheel should help. Put the sand bag in a plastic bag so it doesn't leak all over the trunk.

Your auto leveling air suspension will counteract the weight of the bags, and it would make your spare alot less accessable, I would go with some better snow tires and just a couple golf bags or something, I wouldnt screw with sand.

no more than two adults worth as close to over the axel as possable to far back in the trunk it will mack the front end to light and you will lose steering ability , no more than 4 bags at most.
Best results adjust your driving speed to weather conditions. !!

Don't know what part of the country you live in.
Here in this part of the states,I like to keep about 80 lbs. over each wheel.
Maybeso,your "Vickie" has what is referred to as "traction-lock",
that's the way that Ford refers to it
Personally,I'd distribute the wght. accordingally between wheels.

i'd say probably about 2 50-75 pound bags.
