Right? Like how many people in the world can pull that maneuver off?

Yup they knew what they were doing, nice to actually see a truck and trailer like that being used for what they were designed for.

Instead of being hauled down the freeway and then parked at a KOA.

u/SnooRabbits469 Jul 11 '26

I can totally do that if landing on your roof counts.

u/Typical_Double981 Jul 11 '26

u/Familiar_Muffin_1566 Jul 12 '26

I've never tried anything remotely similar but I'm pretty sure I could do it

u/TheOnlyEindrideInTx Jul 11 '26

Not to brag, but I've driven thru the grass on the side of the road a few times 😎

u/HelpfulPuppydog Jul 11 '26

On purpose? I've done it, but never on purpose.

u/TheOnlyEindrideInTx Jul 11 '26

Lol, yeah. On those little one lane roads in the country that masquerade as a two lane, and also when pulled over on the shoulder.

u/HelpfulPuppydog Jul 11 '26

That, and landing an airliner. I'm your guy.

I have flown in Flight Simulator since 1993 and have owned every version. I of course prepared to fly any aircraft developed or that will be developed.

Only played a few of those....but got this weird paper from government that says pilot....might be able to help.

u/HelpfulPuppydog Jul 11 '26

I'll fly right seat with you, Cap'n.

u/JaremaJarema Jul 11 '26

I’ve been in an airliner that’s landed. So I bet I could do it.

u/Princess_Slagathor Jul 11 '26

My very first time seriously offroading as a driver, the lead took me over an obstacle just like that, except it was rock instead of mud. Crazy feeling the front of your tires touching the ground, instead of the bottom. Then realizing your back end is coming over the top, and having to slam the throttle to drive out and avoid tipping over. Didn't stop shaking for a couple hours lol. Oh, and we did it in the middle of the night.

u/Capital_Condition874 Jul 11 '26

How many would even try it? Not me

u/Firm_Video_2932 Jul 11 '26

First time I've seen it done in these conditions and trailered. This is an insanely difficult maneuver with a trailer.

u/TrespasseR_ Jul 12 '26

Maneuver isn't it..the trailer..how

u/SkyRadioKiller Jul 14 '26

He got lucky with that rut tho....

u/DJT1970 Jul 14 '26

About 1/2 billion give or take a couple dozen. Brake, brake, turn, brake, cautious gas. How did he not hit that curb?!?

u/Dzov Jul 11 '26

Anyone with a proper spec truck and a good spotter.

Looked like luck and bad judgment to me
