[@HU1212ICAN3]

@@wetlettuce4768 Right! Funny how many here don't know physics lol.

[@Reziac]

Maybe not... dual real wheels come pretty close to balancing the engine weight. (I drive a quad cab dually and it's just about perfectly balanced front to rear.) But as tall as it is for the remaining wheelbase, yeah, it probably wants to flip forward regardless of where the bottom weight is. Now what would be fun is to put a set of wheels on the top, hit the brakes, and see if it could do a full flip and right itself again. Or just drive it upsidedown. :) Hey, have they welded two Ladas together that way yet? :)

[@HU1212ICAN3]

@@Reziac thats what I was thinking too. The weight displacement is probably about the same as before

Turning radius of a John Deere???? You haven't driven one have you. They've got a terrible turning radius.

[@jayjorz]

@@themechanic1779 I thought the transits were a newer line for Ford because I didn't really start noticing them until the late 2000s, but your comment made me do a google search. Predecessor of the German and British-built Transit, the first production Ford to wear the "Transit" badge was a van built in Ford's Köln (Cologne) plant in Germany. It was introduced in 1953 as FK 1000 (carrying 1,000 kg) with a 1.2-litre inline-four engine from the contemporary Taunus. The more you know
