ehsnils Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Looking at the speedometer it was some 55 to 60 km/h in the last sequence with the car. Probably about the same for the dummy in the first pics. I need to check with the test drivers next time I'm out at the track how heavy it was, but the weight of the trailer isn't really a concern when you have modern EBS/ABS brakes as long as you have the weight within limits. Bear in mind that brakes on a truck and trailer are designed to work best when there's some load on them. Braking an older unloaded truck with "stupid" air brakes requires a light foot or you risk locking them up, hit your head on the wheel or both. (I have tried that... Slow reaction on the brakes, then they come with a vengeance!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
