Which inmates got a new Tundra

Not only can it tow a space shuttle but now it can handle the weight for a fifth wheel.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Is that 6x6 a better way to handle a fifth wheel? Spread the weight out more?

It’s still six tires for that or a dually so I’m just wondering if that is a better setup than a dually when it comes to 5ers or a gooseneck.

Probably doesn’t turn as well without scraping tires like a boat trailer?

Just when I thought it couldn’t look any worse someone proves me wrong. Way to go……. Way to go……

They are differentials, not solid axles like boat trailers have. No scrubbing.

Gives you something to look at instead of that front end.

What he means is each rear axle has a differential and isn’t merely a solid axle like a Boat trailer so in turns the wheels turn smoothly because they turn at different speeds.

I think what I meant was that because those wheels don’t turn with steering that if you made like a hard circle or I turn the tires might still slide because of the wide stance in the rear. But I think I get the gist.

This rig was obviously built for pulling Schiadas from one garage to the other

I looked-up the shop in the upper right hand corner of the pic.
Floral Shop . . . . so maybe it's delivering flowers???

Boat trailer axles have wheel bearings so B the wheels can rotate independently of each other. The scrub plenty.

That being said, 6 tires is 6 tires, regardless as to how they’re arranged. Each tire increases the load capacity (if the suspension/frame/etc is also brought up to the task)

They do all that work but probably don't do anything about the sticker on the door or B-pillar...

This would be the ultimate drywaller rig. Think of how many sheets of drywall you could haul and how many finishers could fit in that cab. If 5 fit in a regular cab ranger you should be able to get 12 in that thing!

Thanks for the explanation, but I still don't get it. A boat trailer has a solid axle, but the wheels turn freely from one another, they are not "connected" to one another through the axle. They scrub because they are pointed straight ahead while you're turning. The Tundra would scrub just the same. It would definitely haul sheetrock or flowers very well though.

Just think of how many more drywall screws it could drop.

 

[mash on it]

I think the class 8's have been doing 3 axles for a few years.
Scrub doesn't seem to bother them. Notice the spread axle trailer too.

Back tires will scrub on either. Think of the leading back wheel as a pivot point on the inside of a turn. The front of the back two axles will always roll independent and follow the front steering tires but the back ones will be sideloaded on turns, progressively more with sharper turns.

IMHO you’re over-thinking this.

Load capacity and towing didn’t even enter the equation when this mod was being done.

It’s all about being flashy.

If dual wheels are needs for the load, it’s way easier to make a conventional dually axle.

It's a trend ?

Ragheads had the merc for several years for the sand. Read somewhere they had the 570 horse V8.
Neat deal.

 

[WhatExit?]

Years back the MB 6x6 was made and later sold in small numbers. Since then various trucks have been 6x6’d including a Raptor and Jeep and likely others. This ugly Tundra is the latest

 

[bilz]

I did see a bumper/ grill mod for the Tundra that makes it a hell of a lot better. But no 5.7, coming from a Tundra fan.

 

[RitcheyRch]

Seems more of a novelty than anything really useful.

Now its only stuck with the front wheels.
