lopburi3 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Looks like a defective pickup to me. Overload normally just lifts the front off the ground - also happened all the time when they were primary transport vehicles upcountry and people were standing on rear extensions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The manufacturer foresaw incidents such as this by installing a drive shaft with a universal joint.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, mostly by people towing 3500kg caravans and then expecting to still load the pickup box. To help overcome suspension sag they fit airbags... and the chassis breaks.

xtrnuno41 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 LAst year I stayed close to a wood, weighing and unloading point. Weigh screen was visible and I saw pick up s coming with a weight load of 1900 kg. Tricycles were prepared with additional springs, copy paste, and were carrying up to 900 kg weight load. I was a bit flabbergasted they all didnt break, well at least not at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
