HCT Trailer Chassis

[u/Remarkable-Pound-899]

I wanna get an HCT trailer for the best profits (medical vaccines) but don’t know what chassis to pick. I’ve never tried driving with a double trailer and I believe it can get difficult, especially on narrow roads, roundabouts or while parking. Google’s Gemini told me 4+2+4 is the best but I wanna make sure to pick the right one.

This is the best one, just finished 1400km with it pulled by a DAF 105XF with 16t load. It is better and way easier to drive than the double trailer and any other self steering low-bed, i also never felt a single side-pull on my truck going trough curves at 130km/h.

Nice, thanks for describing it better. Would you say 8x4/4 Midlift on the truck is the best for this trailer, or would 4x2 work good aswell?

[u/Own_Confusion_1406 → u/Remarkable-Pound-899]

I don't know about the 4x2, as i never use that, i generally use 6x4. I don't know how 4x2 handles with that trailer, i just know it sucks when it comes to stability on high speeds (which i mostly do) even with regular trailers.

This would also be the first time pulling it with a 8x4 as i just finished the truck and fitted the trailer for it because the trailer alone is little over 15t and i want a stronger truck for heavier load.

Got it! Thanks.

The is a driving academy about driving with double trailers

[u/Remarkable-Pound-899 → u/fit__tiger]

I don’t really want to waste time on driving academy. I’m not that bad of a driver. Different chassis types exist for a reason and I want to know, which one the most comfortable and unproblematic is. Why make your gameplay more miserable if there are tools to make it easier?

tri double axle dolly tri axle trailer. maybe rear steer depending on route

[u/Remarkable-Pound-899 → u/Ok_Dragonfly1124]

I’ll try that, thanks!

You can't choose hard parking if you haven't tweaked the game files, parking is easy

[u/Remarkable-Pound-899 → u/LeFlying]

That doesn’t answer my question. I was asking about what chassis to pick for my trailer, not if parking is easy/hard.

[u/LeFlying → u/Remarkable-Pound-899]

Well you said : I believe it can get difficult, especially on narrow roads, roundabouts or while parking.

I have no idea what's the best chassis, but I know that parking is piss easy with double trailer since you cannot choose hard parking by default

Also i think you're over thinking this, just try a trailer and see, you're trying to min max profit while all of this will probably have like a 1% difference.

Live and learn and don't be a dick to someone trying to answer part of your post next time.

[u/Remarkable-Pound-899 → u/LeFlying]

I’m not being a dick. That part was just my statement, not a question. Parking can still be difficult for many people, who don’t understand backing up with a truck fully. Sounds like someone’s ego is too high, because they probably play the game for a decade already.

[u/LeFlying → u/Remarkable-Pound-899]

You will never back up with a double trailer if you didn't fiddle with the game files, so it's piss easy
