| They are rare in that fast axles would have been specified when built at the factory. Mostly for firetruck, ambulance or other public service. My truck was a Deutsche Bundespost rig in its first incarnation. I was told that these were used to haul maintenance crews and equipment to inaccessible areas in Germany for telecommunications work. I have the slower axle set. They are fine around town but people want to run me off the highway at 50 mph. I put an orange warning triangle on the back and haven't had a tailgater since. You get used to the slower speed fast. |
