Axle weight / spacing requirements. If it was like ours all the weight of the first 3 axles would be together which could break bridges.

I think I there’s a little bit of one-upmanship and bravado too though, isn’t there?

You mostly see those long chassis units with ultra low profile tyres and suspension and a superb paint job.

Very impressive. Bet that's a popular pick-up. Not!
Reminds me of watching the threshing contractors backing the drum into position on the front of a Fordson Major, when I was a boy.

Looked like it was not loaded though !!! and that being the case I recon that if you had a tow bar on any people carrier it could have done the same on tarmac like that with a little bit of caution and maybe an auto box to save the clutch

Motorway police / traffic patrols here will pull a 44t’er off the road with their Discovery’s if necessary. Forget where I saw it, one of the cop shows I think.
