I looked at what you posted and your right. That truck trailer combo appears to be the same as my brothers trailer, his was designed by the gov to haul M-60 tanks! You are right about the way that 4 wheelers drive, when I was growing up I spent most of my summer vacation on the road with my dad, and there were more than a few times that a 4 wheeler did something stupid that almost bought everyone the farm. Driveing firetrucks tought me an incredible amount of defencive driving skills. Looking back at driver's ed there was hardly anything tought {in '86} on how to work with trucks or emergency vehilces. No one ever teaches new drivers the physics behind large vehicles.
