What is wrong with the winch?

[Zergon]

Why two winched trucks moving SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW. In some cases max speed at trucks almost same but winch makes them 1.5 times slower. It makes conecting trucks much useless than in mudrunner/spintires.
Where gas option at truck on a winch?

You are using beginner level winches is why, You can buy stronger/faster ones later for vehicles

I don't say that winch is slow, that winch is not strong enough to pull my truck. I say that winch somehow makes two conected trucks slower

It's not the winch. Your truck normally hauls up to maybe 7 tons. In the beginning the heaviest load you get are logs, a medium load is 8 tons and a long load is 12. Heavy duty trucks are all between 7 and 10 tons. Heavy and Offroad trucks are 10 to 30 tons. If the truck being pulled or doing the pulling have cargo, that weight is also added into the mix. Before you unlock better engines, and depending on the truck even if you do, this extra weight will slow you down to a crawl.

Yesterday I finished a contract to haul 8 one slot containers of silver weighing 3 tons each. I loaded up a Twinsteer and Femm AT-37 and used the latter to pull the former so I didn't have to bother with a trailer. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten out and walked faster. But that's the tradeoff I decided on. "Do I slow-boat my way pulling everything at once or do I take multiple faster trips?"

Also as you progress you'll also find trucks that are naturally better at pulling things than others.

Äh would be crazy, full speeding sliding tandem Trucks? So it has nothing to do with you winch its a safety thing. Has nothing to do with the load either, unloaded the same. They always drive slowly in the tow Mode. Yeah it is slow, but its like that.

The winched truck pulses its accelerator. If your stuck with a 2nd truck you will see there tires pulse not full spin.
But when you get into higher gears it will too.
If you notice it pulse pushes also.
Im sure this is to help prevent jackknives.

I think it is a bug. Sometimes it happens to me, most of the times it doesn't.
