The weight is distributed as close to the tires as possible, so traction is attainable without having to load on the weight, which kills speed and handling.

And what kind of truck weighs 5-6 tons?! A Ford F-150 is about 4,000 lbs, or 2 tons. You're grossly overestimating the weight, and you don't really have a grasp on what is needed for racing. The trucks in that game don't look like they've come from a dealership, people in garages made them by hand, and ordered a ver light weight body shell. These trucks probably weigh less than a luxory sedan.

He is talking about the Big Rigs you can unlock. Not about the Baja Pickup's like what is in the demo.
