2-6-6-4 Wheel Notation...Information...!!!

2-6-6-4 Wheel Notation:
What Does it mean Truck 6X4 or 6x6...
6x6 is a six wheel drive vehichle,6x4 means it has six wheels but only for of them drive the vehichle,6x2,is the same as the 6x4 but only 2 wheels drive out of the six...Just lik
e 4x4 or 4x2's..
How about a 6-wheeler (one ton or better) with a 4-wheel drive...

The army used to have trucks that had two axles in back, and the steer axle in front, and all three were drive axles. They were referred to as 6 X 6. They also had single tires on each axle, not duals.
So, for a 6 X 4, I'd expect to see 6 tires on the ground, 4 on the rear axle, and 2 on the steer axle.

In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotive wheel arrangement, a 2-6-6-4 is a locomotive with a two-wheel leading truck, two sets of six driving wheels, and a four-wheel trailing truck. All 2-6-6-4s have been articulated locomotives, of the Mallet or related simple articulated type.
