Fish Out Of Water: Mega Trucks Hooked To A Pulling Sled Look Weird, Put On Great Show

There’s always something appealing about seeing a car or truck try something that may be a little of its intended realm and maybe way out of the driver’s accumulated experience. It is like wen  drag car guy decides that he wants to run his stuff on the autocross or a road racer wants to try driving an off-road truck. In this case we’re dealing with mega trucks hooked to a traditional pulling sled. After first you may be like, “whatever” but we’re urging you to watch the video and actually see the show because it is great.

These trucks are setup to mud bog and jump and essentially fly through the air, which is the exact opposite of what you really want when you are sled pulling. Normally you do not see a lot of squat out of pulling trucks and the main reason for that is the fact that the suspensions are either greatly stiffened, they are locked in place, or in some extreme cases, there is NO suspension at all. These trucks? No so much! Also on the tire front, most pulling trucks use as wide a biter as they can on the corners but these mega trucks largely run a tractor style lugged tire that rules for slogging through the mud but does not really present itself well for the pulling end of things.

There’s a great variety of trucks in this video and there’s a great variety of strategies employed by the drivers to get the sled and their rigs down the course. Some work and some do not! Watch this and enjoy. Mega Trucks hooked to a pulling sled!
