I run the HEMTT Wrecker in Iraq and I am tellin u them things can do pretty much anything u want, I once watched one pull a full HETT System (Military peeps should know what I mean) with M1 Abram on the trailer up a 25% incline, a little slow but never once did she act like she couldn't handle in my opinion one of the best trucks the Military ever built.
I used to drive one when i was station in Hawaii. They were slow going up hills and almost unstoppable coming down them at highway speeds. But in offroad terrain they would go almost anywhere. When we were deployed to Thailand we pulled a payloader that slide into a rice paddi like it was nothing miss the trucks
/hud42cdo--if you have ever drove one you would know it doesnt matter which way you wheels are facing! They will go pretty much anywhere you wanna go! He was far from being stuck anyhow. oh by the way that is a wrecker also so he is weighing on any given day with full BII (basic initial issue) all the tools, chains, bars and spade in excess of 140,000 lbs
really poor technique-wheels not straight,wrong gear-to get an 8x8 stuck on flat terrain,with no load behind takes some special skills-skills best left to pedestrians.
my favorite truck haha. when i was at H8 school at fort devens we brought these through mud pits that were 5 feet deep and she kept asking for more. one of the only trucks the army actually did right haha
