$70 Ozark Trail All Terrain Wagon (8" wheels) - THUMBS DOWN

- We picked up this collapsible wagon from Walmart for $70 and we are NOT impressed with the way it rolled on the sand. It practically just dragged along the beach until we got to the harder sands BUT the top half of the beach was hell to pull the wagon through. It's going back!
I tried this cart this week and this review is 100% accurate. The 2 front wheels just dig into the sand. It absolutely is not worth pulling across the beach. It is designed and promoted as such but it sucks! I'm in good shape and pretty strong but about 20 to 30 feet wore me down. It works great if you're not using it for the beach.
Same. great shape but dragging that cart down the beach whooped my butt.
your back wheels are on backward. that may have made it have harder fyi. i own the same one.
I am 66 years, two months and 17 days as of my comments. Walking across soft sand was not as bad as walking to my vehicle several blocks away making lots of trips. It carried everything I bought and was able to put my 14 months old granddaughter in it. It was well worth having it at the price I paid. It also moved over the rocks in the parking lot on the beach. Walking it across soft sand was a little more challenging. Thinking smarter instead of working harder, I parked the Ozark wagon on the part where boats are launched and then walked my items to where I wanted to be close. Then after most of the items were out the cart, it was not so challenging moving over soft sand. Overall I really love this cart. I am planning on camping trips and have various things. I will be purchasing another one for my solar generator and my multiple cameras, lights, etc.. Thanks for reading my comments. Smiles
That's extremely awesome!! I'm glad it worked for you. For me it was like pulling dead weight for two blocks. I have other wagons that I thoroughly enjoy. I'm the Director of Events at my company so I use a lot of carts for work. The ones with the drop down rear panel are my favs . I'm curious to know how this one does when weighted by your generator and equipment. Keep me (us) posted.
@@Garage-wt5jl Thanks for responding. I do audio, video, music, photo, data technology. I am into music video capturing, editing as well as recording studio. What other carts do you have and prefer? I am always searching for more effective equipment. Smiles
This is exactly what I needed to know!!!! Great, to the point review!
Thank you! Did it while we were on vacation so it was short and sweet lol
worthless review, no wagon will work on loose soft sand obviously, especially wagon only costs 70 bucks
@@CincyPhotography worthless to you because you are just a troll for people who are in the same situation and looking for input on products... the width of tires what makes the difference in all wagons .
I have two of them and have had not problems at all. Use one for work and one for on the go.
This looks great to have. I mean everything moves slower in sand. lol and with the amount of stuff you have in it expect you will have to use some of your own strength. and you don't look like you are having any problems you just feel resistance and that is normal unless you put a motor in it
its an amazong wagon especially for 70, and worked perfect once you get out of soft sand
Agree, beats the heck out of making a gazillion trips to the car to carry all that stuff walking in soft hot sand. It’ll be useful for car/tent camping too, uneven terrain but not soft in the mountains, put your stuff sacks, tent etc etc all in one trip, specially in bear country where the cooler needs to be constantly carried in and out of the car several times a day.
Also go to harbor freight and buy the soft rubber grips wheels $4.00 a peice and it will roll through the sand no problem.
Do you have a link to them?
@@antoniodiaz7039 go to harbor freight they are 8inches by 3/4 or Amazon look up ozark tired and rubberized.
@@antoniodiaz7039 just go to harbor freight,lowes,menards,homespun, or amazon
I’d like it know how to do that also. Please explain more in detail
do you mean pneumatic tires? and is better to get the 10" than 8" , the smaller and thinner they are the easier they dig in the sand but for sand the wider the better regadless ... on sale you get those at $4 otherwise still cheap at $7
Really good to know before purchasing one! Thanks!
Not made for the beach. You need the one with the balloon tires.
agreed but the packaging has it on beaches and claims it's for beaches
Just common sense, but those cost a heck of a lot more. For merely $80 bucks I think it did a decent job.
Thx for the review. Looks like the wagon only rolls on hard surfaces.
It's pretty horrible. So much so I'm wondering if mine is defective because we went to another beach today and it was like dragging dead weight...again. Very hard
@@Garage-wt5jl I mean its trying to roll across really soft sand...i wouldn't ever expect a wagon with smaller wheels to go across soft sand very well.
I still think it performed pretty well, given the fluffyness of the sand, didn't seem to me to be struggling to much, overall I believe it did its job, it beat having to carry all that stuff, or make a bunch of trips back and forth, thanks for the review 👍🏼
See for me it was like dragging a bloated body lol. I was like, "Geez I would have been better off just carrying it all". It seemed to he drudging into the sand for me 😢
@@Garage-wt5jl lol, Subbed 👍🏼
when the shore is 100`s of feet away and have to drag all that load to say the wagon now works fine in hard sand then why do you need that wagon? just for hard sand ? anything works on hard sand and at shore most likely salt water waves will hit it eventually rusting it useless because the cheap metal is made off. (I am too old to be dragging crap on sand)
Seems like those back wheels should be turned other way.I realize that's how it comes I guess so they are not sticking out.dont know if it would change anything
@@frankc6430 so you’d rather make several trips to your car walking and sinking in soft hot sand, I doubt you cannot walk fast in there. Also only a moron would put the wagon where the waves hit the wheels. Lmao.
There are no wagons I came across that can run through beach sand
the review is worthless, they obviously never tried any other wagons , especially costing only 70
Thanks for showing what it actually does on beach sand. I'll have to see how it does on snow.
great video, thank you so much for the perfect demonstration, finally a real review!!!! You saved me $$$$. Awesome.
Thank you
Thank you , I was just about to buy it and happy to see this review!... last thing I need is to drag my fishing gear for miles !... I just don`t want to pay for balloon tires ,yet.
right! lol
Thanks for the review 👍
The cart is carrying towels and is probably a little too lite for the wheels to dig in the sand to 'roll'
I wish that were the case but it was packed with a family of 4"s worth of beach gear and a cooler. It was the ideal situation for having a cart.
Ozark Trail Sand Island Beach Wagon Cart, Outdoor and Camping, Blue, Adult
$79.00
This is the one they advertise for use over sand. Not that one that you are showing.
This one was about $80 and had images of beach use on the packaging. The wheels were different than others so I thought this one was for sure supposed to be for sand.
Thank you man ..I'm returning mine..
Lmao thank you sir !! Im standing here at walmart. I appreciate you
Cool video.
Thanks guys, you saved me $80 bucks
Bought mine new. $70 from Menards. Got it home, loaded 2 huge bag of groceries in it, halfway thru the parking lot, the pins fall out, leaving you no choice but to drag the wagon as the back wheels lock up. Waste of money.
Mine does the same thing it will wear you out getting to the beach
Right. Get to the beach and just wanna lay down lol
wow great video was just looking for one, i currently have a garden steel wagon works great just really heavy and bulky lol have you found anything?
Which wagon would you recommend for the beach like that one?
I'm still trying to figure that out myself. I was really really wanting to keep the Ozark Trail but man it really sucked dragging that thing down the beach.
LaDarryl L.A Hollingsworth almost bought this for my husband. Thanks for the review
Just bought a wagon called the Mac Sports Heavy Duty Collapsible Folding All Terrain Utility Wagon Beach Cart with Table
I'll be receiving it this Wednesday 😁
I just bought mac sports wagon 300 lbs. Capacity with 8" wheels but has not table
But I returned the one with table because of the slim weels also I returned one with canopy because too hard to set up So far this is the one I recommend MAC SPORTS 300 LBS. THEY SELL IT AT COSCO FOR $60 to $80 depending if you get it on sale.
how much weight did u have in the wagon?
Thats a very good question. I'd say maybe 40-50 lbs but Im not sure. It wasn't too light and wasn't too heavy. It was full of normal beach stuff. Towels for 4, a few beach toys, googles, a small cooler (with capri suns, water, and Ice), and a beach blanket
thanks for the review. I'm thinking of replacing the tires for beach sand after viewing
Wish i wouldve known before i bought mine🙄
Lol can you take it back?
@@Garage-wt5jl im the worse at taking things back..i have blinds,pants,car jacks,etc that i still haven't took back.oh and fishing rods lol 1000 receipts
That sucks thanks for saving me 70 bucks!
I really, really tried to like it but 👎🏾
@@Garage-wt5jl yeah its a shame. I think it would be a winner with big bouncy tires even if it put the price into the +/-$90 region
I don’t think anything moves well in soft sand.
I agree but this was like dragging a dead goat lol
Well putting mtn bike tires on a hand trucks worked for me
worthless review, no wagon will work on loose soft sand obviously, especially wagon only costs 70 bucks
The picture on the packaging itself is on the beach. So it's being advertised to work on the beach and it doesn't.
@@Garage-wt5jl clearly works fine on the sand that's not super soft
@@CincyPhotography yep yep. Thats the point of this review. Glad you got the point.
@@Garage-wt5jl the point that the review was worthless cuz there's no wagon that works in soft sand
ohhhh I see
Dude, who uses those wheels at the beach/sand. Lol. Must your first time. Beach/sand wheels are balloon wheels🤦🏻🤦🏼🤦🏿🤦🏼🤦🏻🤦🏿
lol I've learned a lesson you seem to already have known. That's kinda how life works. The packaging showed it being used on sand.
@@Garage-wt5jl No worries. That how I learned. Lol. Sadly ballon wheel carts are sooo expensive 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼
