Title: Would your bus get stuck on this road ?
Post by: someguy on January 21, 2024, 12:14:05 PM: F450 4x4 pulling a large 5er gets stuck going up a gravel road. Would your bus make it up this road ?

Once they get the trailer wheels out of the grass the truck spins out pulling the trailer.

Bottom line: People who convert buses tend to understand physics better and know more about what their rigs are capable of and tend to get into less trouble for that reason. ;)

5 smart responses and no one answered the OP's question.

I'm guessing my bus would bottom out.

Something to consider for the guys who know everything, some of us are new to this.

This attention seeker let the trailer go off the edge, I think, maybe, cuz like the rest, I'm not wasting anymore time looking at this manufactured $h|t.

Newbies: you are driving the drive axle, the front goes wherever it has to, to get the rear EXACTLY where you want it. Many get those two reversed...

happy coaching!
