Not enough horsepower, torque, wide tires or beer

Hi,

That's a water tank, and this was legal load. Actually travelled well at 100kmh / 60mph. But I would have abandoned the trip if there were high winds.

Plastic tank? Wonder what the weight on the rear axle is since it appears its all well behind the axle.

I was reminded of the raised pickup crossing a badly-flooded ford. Paved, but the heavy current was pushing him sideways so he gunned it spinning all four tires wildly. Of course, that loss of traction caused him to drift off the edge and go floating downstream.

I think the vid was posted here a while back. Idiots!

Wide tires make good floats. Jon

Did he not make it up the hill or did he not have control coming down? I am thinking it is the former.

And torque. Horsepower and torque.

And in that case, traction.

Seems like he was still able to move when the video stopped. Just probably needed a change of pants after threading the needle like that.

Traction also helps... on the trailer for tracking, as well as on the tow vehicle.

He was an idiot for crossing running water with a heavy current. His over reaction and spinning made compounded the felony.
