## What is a “BobBitruck”?
In Brazilian trucking slang, a **”Bob”** refers to a **short-wheelbase truck**, often a **toco** (2 axles) or a **truck** (3 axles, usually a 6×2 or 6×4 with one drive axle and one or two auxiliary axles). The term emphasizes its more compact nature compared to a “cavalo mecânico” (tractor unit) pulling a long trailer.
A **”Bitruck”** (or “Bi-truck”) specifically refers to a **truck with two drive axles at the rear**. So, it’s typically a **6×4 configuration** (one steer axle, two drive axles). This configuration provides superior traction and load-carrying capacity compared to a 4×2 or 6×2.
Therefore, a **”BobBitruck”** in ETS2 usually means a **compact truck chassis with a 6×4 (two drive axles) configuration**, often used for direct cargo hauling with a fixed body like a **dump truck (caçamba)**, **box truck (baú)**, or **flatbed (prancha)**. These trucks are common for delivering goods in urban areas or on rougher terrain where maneuverability and traction are key.
