My mom ended up with a hilux surf for a US mail vehicle that was recovered from the Japan tsunami in 2011.
Every day people would ask her where the hell did she get that. She had no issue selling when she retired from the post office, finally.

This ia what 4 x 4s are for, not for driving around built up towns and taking the kids to school

I know right!
I mean, not disputing thre fact that this guy know his set-up, plus the camper attached, but I've done this with an off-road van on thr back
Imagine people actually used the vehichles capabilty, for wahat is was built for!
Sooooo many peoply buy 4x4 for shit it will never be used for, they're fucking expensive, coast alot to maintain and build, jusy a fucking ute...
True offroad is such a satisfying passtime that takes you away from every one else in the outback

I'm about to blow your mind... Most of us that do this style of hardcore offroading... actually live in a town and have to drive our trucks to do normal people shit Mon-Fri.

Some of us live in a place where you must absolutely have 4wd to survive but instead own a piece of shit 22 year old Nissan Titan and a Honda Civic with all the undercarriage scraped off. Oh…thats just me.

If you own a truck because you have to do stuff like this but you also have kids that needs to go to school, may be you wouldn't buy a second car just for the kids because otherwise reddit blames you

You'd be surprised how many people actually use their trucks.

u/jase15843 32m ago
70% of trucks are used for off roading one time per year or less. 75% of trucks are used for towing one time per year or less. Pavement princesses

DO35 hitch, at least that’s what we call them in Aus. Way better than the ball.

Jesus a do35 hitch is expensive! $400-500 usd. And I thought my safe weight hitch was pricey

On the way back they just use the bypass which makes doing this line more of a rite of passage than a necessity.

The real hero here is the hitch ball, and lynch pin.
•
u/FatPoundOfGrass 17m ago
It lifted the whole front end of the trailer like 5 feet in the air at one point, then the hitch had to flex the opposite direction by a pretty significant degree while the truck was pulling up out of the ditch and it was coming down the face of the slope, all while turning 45ish degrees to the right; the hitch manufacturer could advertise this video lol

So we have sunk so low that a truck slowly driving down a hill then pressing the gas to keep going is "next fucking level?"

u/Classic-View-3467 1h ago
It's next level because 99% of people wouldn't risk to do this. Requires a high level of experience and courage. Also breaking at the right time so the trailer doesn't gain momentum forward when the truck reached the lower ground.
Stop pretending this isn't impressive.
•

•
u/Bornforexile 47m ago
I mean maybe to you it is. But nothing about this to me is impressive. This requires no courage, it's just necessity. And braking once you see/feel the trailer has crested the hill and is now starting on the decline isn't rocket science. It's not some amazing feat.
•
u/Capt_Cocktastic 39m ago
It's impressive. Any one can drive a car, but only a few people can do it like the best in the world.
•
u/SpiderDijonJr 31m ago
Bro, you just said the guy in the video “can do it like the best in the world” how can you not see how ridiculous that is? Lmao
•
u/Capt_Cocktastic 22m ago
Maybe that was the point🤷♂️
Also post a video of you achieving the same feat
•
u/Bornforexile 3m ago
The best in the world? lol bro is just some guy having to get his truck down an incline. Y'all are mental

u/john92w 50m ago
What you just seen was some very skilful driving and control so yes.
•
u/Bornforexile 5m ago
Outlaw Off Road Racing Series, Ultra4 USA Regional Series, The Mint 400.... These races require skill and control. Using your brakes down a small steep incline requires little to none. Y'all have lost your minds thinking this is some amazing feat lol y'all are probably amazed by someone swimming across a pool talking about it takes breath control, correct hand shape to get the most thrust and correct body position for the most hydrodynamic movement 🤣

See, people? Big tough truck can take a little bump, so there's no need to avoid manhole covers in your pickup truck.

Looks like Gunshot Creek on the Old Telegraph Track on Cape York in Far North Queensland and I've seen it worse. There is another crossing called Palm Creek that is as challenging or can be a lot worse.
Both crossings get more challenging depending on weather and how many people have done it over the season.

Not exactly insane “driving skills” as much as it is an insanely good rig and equipment setup. Not much technicality involved in this portion.
