Trail Mater

I caught this guy on Matt's Off Road Recovery channel, and had to check him out. His truck isn't as pretty as the Banana or the Morvair, but it's a monster. The climb out with a Jeep on the hook is spectacular.

Impressive driving! I want to know how they get only the front tires to spin to slide around a corner. Would our Trucks be able to do that?

It's called a front dig. You disengage the rear axle so power only goes to the front, then lock the brakes and use just the front axles to pull around a corner. I dont believe the ranger can disengage the rear axle so sadly as great as our Trucks are they're not this cool.

Just learned something new to me. Thanks!

Trail Mater looks like a rig out of Mad Max. Imagine what that thing could do without a disemboweled Jeep hanging off the back of it.

Impressive rescue. This guy knows his stuff.

The Bronco has Trail Turn Assist, which is an electronics controlled version. When engaged, and the wheels are at full lock, the computer locks the inside rear brake, and it swings the Bronco in tight corners.

6 minutes in.

Would think this is just software. Should be able to get the same feature as an upgrade on the Ranger.

I'm constantly amazed when I go off road and up some areas that I think I should have my head examined for going to - in 4LO - only to get to the top of the mountain or 5 miles down a ravine to find a 2016 Honda Accord with Rims on it.

WTF!!!! WADAFA???? How did that get in here!?! Was it air dropped?
