Since the Silver Truck always looked like a racing truck to me I'd find it
strange to see a tandem axle and a trailer. It would be like towing a
caravan behind an Impreza WRC....
Anyway, if it's going to be more about functions than realictic looks you
should do something about the drive train. Each axle should have its own
diff.
