Track N Go’s demonstration shows a pickup using a track system associated with its wheels. The idea is to alter how the vehicle contacts snow without presenting an entirely new cabin or load space.
A fitting-time claim has conditions
The demonstration’s attraction is the contrast between a familiar pickup and an unfamiliar contact surface beneath it. AD Boivin’s presentation describes a wheel-driven track system, with the truck’s body and load area still recognisable above the snow. Its quoted fitting time belongs to that promotional demonstration. For a different truck, the meaningful starting point is the exact supported configuration, not the assumption that the filmed installation can be repeated in the same time by any owner.
Compatibility comes before the spectacle
A real evaluation needs the supported vehicle, load limits, operating instructions and intended surfaces. A successful filmed pass through snow does not establish universal access or road suitability. The archive is useful for understanding the concept and seeing how it differs from permanently tracked vehicles.

Wheels remain central to the concept
The original presentation identifies Track N Go as a wheel-driven system developed by AD Boivin. This distinguishes the concept from a vehicle designed around permanent tracks from the beginning. The familiar pickup body remains above a very different snow-contact arrangement, which is why the demonstration is immediately legible even to viewers unfamiliar with tracked machinery.
What to check before choosing a truck track system
For a prospective user, the important questions are how the system fits the specific truck, which loads and conditions the maker permits, and what changes are required in operation and transport. The original fifteen-minute installation statement is a promotional claim, not a promise for an unfamiliar vehicle or first-time fitter. The two demonstrations introduce the mechanism from different views, while those practical details belong in the relevant manufacturer documentation.
