Default The Yeti



You might not need a truck with 76” tall tractor tires, but that’s why ‘need’ and ‘want’ are two different words. This abominable creation, nicknamed the Yeti, is a modified Dodge 3500 Cummins Diesel truck that is designed to drive through more than three feet of snow, and features Unimog portal axles and rear wheel steering. And it scares children.

I've seen a vid of it and I would take one of the Arctic trucks they build over in Iceland over it any day. Who needs to drive through 3' of snow when you can float over it and more? It as worthless at **** on a bull, but it looks cool.

The thing is a worthless POS IMO. Designed to drive through 3 feet of snow, but cant. It still has open diffs. No front steer, only rear steer. WTF is the point? The thing can't do anything. All it can do is get you and another person stuck somewhere.
