Default The Dodge, of course

The Dodge had a lot less metal to push, pull, and turn - no driven front axle for a a start. It probably had a lighter wooden body and higher final drive ratio too.

Now if you had asked which one would have fought it's way cross a ploughed field first - different answer.

Default Neither

Sherman going down hill in the center of the road.

Otherwise I suspect Gordon is correct.

Cheers
