Don't them folk allow "relations" and marriage with farm animals in rural, femal stricken towns? Yeah, I wouldn't gloat either.

The awesomeness of that truck has nothing to do with it being a Euro chassis, it's all in the rear half track setup. Thus I overlooked Ed's gloat of euroship :)

Yeah, little gear or impusle generator on each wheel for wheel speed to control ABS. ABS is used to do the traction control, both systems are ran by a computer. The monitors are fairly small, and glue or use a huge hose clamp to attach to the wheel (from what I've seen).

The monitoring systems are inside the wheel, they can't contribute to a leak unless they managed to come loose and wore the tire out from the inside (unlikely).

And Volvos... are we echoing post 23 or is it just me? :P

Fairly certain no production vehicle has CITIS, even as an option. They do have tire pressure and temp monitoring systems, which are fairly mundane unless you're running runflats on a light duty vehicle. Figure it costing $8k+ for 4 wheels. On HMMWs, Mogs, and Volvo's the air is ran through...

CIT(I)S is just a hub (or portal) setup, any tire/wheel combo can typically be used. With lower pressure on pavement/hard surfaces, radial's sidewalls won't like it one bit. On either bias or radial, the tread would most likely wear funny.

Airing down is way common in the offroad world, especially for rocking. The more pressure increases the speed a tire can carry a given load before the heat buildup shreds the tire. A downside to lower pressures is reduced sidewall stability..

Willie, you think the mushiness could be a factor of the air pressure in the tire? ;) Refered to as "airing down," offers better traction in all conditions except air or floating in water.

Yeah Jer, front wheel drive. I don't see provisions for activating the trailers' brakes though?

What kinda cost?
