Stagecoaches had larger wheels in the back and smaller ones in the front to improve stability and handling. The larger rear wheels provided better support and traction, especially when carrying heavy loads or traveling on rough terrain. This design helped to distribute weight more evenly and facilitated easier navigation over obstacles, while the smaller front wheels allowed for improved maneuverability. Overall, this configuration contributed to a smoother ride and enhanced safety for passengers.

This design helped balance the weight distribution and enhanced the overall efficiency of the wagon.
