Just some advice for those of you new (and inexperienced/overconfident) drivers… even though it’s a 4-wheel drive don’t drive faster than you can stop with just a very gentle application of the brakes…. Basically triple the amount of stopping distance it would normally take … remember that just because it feels like you have traction going forward as soon as you stab (hit the brakes hard) you’ve become an ice skate
@randyc49592 жыл бұрын
I've preached that for years. 4x4= go easier on snow. NOT go faster on snow. You still have to be able to stop it. Having 4x4 does tend to even out braking forces, but that little bit of improvement should not be relied on. Also... YOU must be prepared to make allowances for others that can't run as fast as you can. If they are ahead of you, it's your problem. Don't crowd them.

A very wise and experienced driver once told me that having a 4x4 means you can get twice as stuck since all four wheels can dig holes! I drive a Subaru Forester, and a couple cars previous to that I had a 4x4 Aerostar van. When a sudden snow storm blew up while travelling from Toronto to Montreal along the 401, I drove about an average of 40 mph. I was constantly amazed as people in SUVs would go zooming past me, and I would see taillights, then alternating taillights, headlights taillights as they spun out on the next really icy patch. I would slow down more, make sure they were OK, then continue on. It's normally a 6 and bit hour drive...that trip ended up being 14 hours long!

Look at it again, as Casey says, it's not a rotator. It does not have a proper boom for starters and the carriage for a boom will slide along the length of the cargo box, but while it's being driven, it's rolled all the way back towards the cab and contains the spools. This one, the spools are likely fixed and the cables are part of the apparatus at the end of the cargo bed that only moves up and down, but is not a proper boom. For example of one, is a 2015 Peterbuilt based cab with a Century 1150R cargo bed from Ron Pratt (his channel) and he works for his parents trucking company, Midwest Truck out of Scott Missouri. He primarily drives it, and like this one, is a triple axle, with the front, rear wheels as additional steer wheels that also raise and lower as needed. The A+ towing truck may be based on that same cargo box .

To be fair, the average Joe probably thinks all heavy wreckers are rotators. It is nice when information and education can be passed without the typical KZbin slang, ie. "No you stupid ass, that's not a rotator dip shit. You wouldn't know your ass from a hole in the ground." Thank you for the mature comments and words of wisdom to help educate the majority that probably have no clue what the difference is in the first place.

This was years ago (1985) the west side of Washington State got hammered by a big snow that dumped up to a foot of the white stuff in parts of Puget Sound and I bought cables and they were quite good, but like chains, can't run them on dry pavement for long, if at all. Eventually one of my cables broke while out delivering pizzas for Domino's. The car did well in snow, unless it was icy as it often was at night until the snow finally cleared away a week later.
