Hand brake in 4wd
sdouglas:
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have always used four wheel drive on ramps if in a 4x4. If on a busy ramp some people roar up the ramp after loading their boat and drag water all the way to the top making it very slick. Even the best concrete ramps get slippery. Great save Tess , would have had the heart pounding on that one.
Cheers Shane

If it's in Park with the handbrake on it wouldn't make any difference if 4wd was selected or not. The vehicle is stationary with no drive to the wheels. On a slippery ramp it would almost have to be the weight of the trailer/vehicle overcame the grip (friction) of the tyres. I would think tyre choice would have to be more the culprit.

What has me not being around boats much, or plenty of times, have to do with wise checking of the surrounds.
Sometimes there could be crocodiles to bite you, other times there isn’t, still best to check the surrounds and use what is available to you.
