Arctic Trucks Toyota expedition to South Pole

[CowboyUp]

I too couldn't understand this and thought about it.

But as we know, expeditions don't always go as planned. Compare the one photo where all the trucks are in a row and they all have trailers.

Another pic almost shows the axle of a trailer.

When we look at the pic in question the tail gate is damaged, so something happened.

Maybe, the rear axle was damage and they swapped the trailer axle for the rear just to "get it off the trail or to a repair shop". Notice that the load on the roof is much small also.
Just a thought.

Both trucks are the same, no rear diff ??!!

The order is...engage the silent drive!

I think it's the secret 'catipiller' drive Toyota that doesn't need a rear differential!:wings:

the first pic shows a rear diff under the truck, unless its something hanging down in the same place as a pumpkin..

no sticker on the side of the bed in the second pic. not the same truck.
