Watch A Six-Wheeled Ford Super Duty Fail At Climbing A Slight Incline

Everyone loves to see a big, burly truck fail at accomplishing a basic task that even a tiny city car could handle, which is why this video of a six-wheeled Ford F-250 struggling to climb a slight incline is so satisfying.

Lol, that's embarrassing. Looks like whoever did the job didn't quite get the differential shaft system to work correctly.

I'd say neither axle had limited slip.

It almost looks like the load wasn't even on those rear axles. Almost like the front set of rear axles was bearing almost all the weight, while the rear set was barely touching the ground, and thus losing traction.

Back to the drawing board...

I am guessing the extra axle is more for weight distribution rather than traction.

Sure.....but what happens when one wheel loses traction on a modern vehicle?
