In brief
Experts share how to avoid rollovers when driving fast off-road with high center of gravity vehicles. Team O'Neil teaches drivers to use trail braking and 4-Hi mode to prevent rollovers when speeding in tall trucks on loose terrain. Originally reported by The Drive.
High Center of Gravity Challenge
Fast factory off-road trucks like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram 1500 TRX have high center of gravity that risks rollovers.
Avoid Rollovers with Trail Braking
Brake straight while turning smoothly to manage weight transfer and prevent rollovers when cornering.
Use 4-Hi Mode for Stability
Keep four-wheel drive in 4-Hi to provide stable braking and better corner control for tall trucks.
Prevent Lever Action Flips
Use all-terrain tires carefully to avoid lever action that can flip vehicles on loose surfaces.
The essence
Team O'Neil teaches drivers to use trail braking and 4-Hi mode to prevent rollovers when speeding in tall trucks on loose terrain.
