    The trailer is useful for carrying spare engines to swap out when the primary blows up.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    I had the big brother to that one
    1989 Volkswagon class 7 tractor made in Brazil sold in the USA badged both as Peretbilts and Kenworths I turned up the 8.3 cummins from 210 HP to 340 Hp changed out the 6 sp for a 13 RTO which was 8 inches longer so instead of cutting the drive shaft I tossed the leaf springs and adapted half an 8 bag air suspension from a Kenworth allowing for an 8 inch longer wheel base mounted a 30" artic style sleeper with side door entry added a pair of 125 gallon Peterbilt fuel tanks making it a fairly decent little truck able to haul 44,000 lbe and still stay under 64K legal in all sates on 4 axles. Some of the big trucks with 5 axles can't do that not and get 8.3 MPG and climb almost any pass without having to get in the flasher lane
