Hand brake in 4wd
tess:
Ok so you know how you see vehicles submerged in water at boat ramps and you wonder how that's possible........well it's quite easy as it turns out :)
Lake tyers conc ramp, reversed down a Colorado until the rear wheels were in the water about 50mm deep as the trailer is easily loaded deeper. I had handbrake and in park, walked to the rear to help land the boat....nxt minute shes sliding.....fark, luckily the trailer jack knifed which stopped it being fully submerged. It got up to 2/3 up doors, so i jumped in through the window and egaged 4wd and drove it out. The ramp was really slimy.
My question......if it was in 4wd parked as above would the front wheels provide traction ie would it have still slid in ?
tess:
Not.my vehicle btw....... :headbang:

Haven't launched the boat with the Isuzu yet but when using the Falcon (auto) handbrake on and transmission in park.

Good question that. Suspect it would work but would like to hear from an expert.
