Guest Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Probably many of us don't know what's that meaning (or only me?) but anyway ... I only know using a Taglift, which the rear wheel can lift up that could save some fuel and useful when turning sharp corners. Also the first number divided by 2 = number of axles. But other than that, I know nothing. Not a real problem for car drivers though because you know if you have 4 wheels then the car is good to go. (So don't blame me) So can someone explain to me what are these configurations (turning wheel, drive wheel, other functions, how many wheels at that axle, pros and cons)? I don't mind this post become an academic discussion. But since we are playing a simulator, that's something we should know beforehand. 4x2? 6x2? 6x4? 6x2/4? 8x4?

NickThe0ne Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hello, The easiest way to explain it is, 6X4 means 6 wheel ends and 4 positions distribute power (power divider installed) 6X2 means 6 wheel ends and 2 positions distribute power (single axle drive) 4X0 means 4 wheel ends no power (Trailer axle) 4x2 means 4 Wheel ends, 2 Positions to distribute power Now the 6 wheel ends can either be wide base singles or duals. They are just talking about the outside of the wheels. Discord: discord.io/BringVTC | Bring Website: BringVTC.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 ^ So it can't tell the actual number of wheels installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickThe0ne Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes and no, you can know how many wheel ends are on your truck, I drive a 6x4 so then I can know that there is 2 singles at the front and 4 at the back. But because at the back there are dual wheels i would then do 4*2. The number after the "x" just tells you how many wheels have powered axles I hope this is understandable Discord: discord.io/BringVTC | Bring Website: BringVTC.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what is 6x2/4? How many combinations are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namі Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 ^ 6x2/4 is the taglift. When the liftable axle is lowered, it's a 6x4, but when it's not it's a 6x2, as the power from the liftable axle is not being put down to the ground. To put it short, chassis configurations are based on amount of wheels (2 wheels for each axle) x amount of those wheels which are being powered. For example, 4x2 has 4 wheels, but only 2 of them are putting power to the ground via the drivetrain. There are so many chassis configurations ranging between 10x4 and 4x2.
