How TF did the white truck end up in the ditch ? I love watching muddin vids on you tube, but a pull in
the direction the white truck was facing up the bank , might have been cleaner .

so everyone here knows or should know my love for FOMOCO and my dislike (not hate) of toyota. But another time another place and the roles could easily be reversed.
I don't know, I wasn't there but all the water settles in the bottom so staying in the bottom and adding 3000lbs of weight to the toyota just seems like a little bit of a dick move.
I agree with clearlight, pull towing vehicle 1/2 way down the bank and pull up the bank for a cleaner pull. Ford was impressive no doubt.
I have very good mud tires and lockers front and rear, I would have loved to have given it a shot.
At the 1:00 mark the momentum is lost so bad the rope gets slack in it, should have turned up hill slightly at max momentum. Somewhat lucky a god damn Dodge didn't have to come along and rescue both of them.

I think that's what most of that was, somebody getting their muddin jollies.
When I saw the black truck I thought it was @Geno C. getting ready to pull the toy out.
The toy driver wasn't even smart enough to straighten the front wheels first.
Apparently, the Ford had more than enough power to plow that toy through the mud.

Alright, now I gotta watch it ?
Ok, nice dually. The driver is either a moron or fucking with the guy on purpose.
After he got rolling I think he was trying to avoid the mud shower. At the 1:00 mark or about I think he could have made it out on his own had the rope broke or fallen of. After that the Ford was just having fun.
No doubt the Ford guy was a jerk and just showboating. Unnecessary to say the least.
I am always amazed how much mud you can get through with simply not flooring it. My T100 has gotten out of some amazing stuff just going to 4-Low, and running it at about idle speed.
My favorite is probably a road so muddy the M35s were getting bogged down, so we ran the T100 as a cargo ferry, back and forth along this road so muddy you couldn't walk it. If you applied more RPMs, you'd get stuck.

You would be correct 99% of the time. 99% of the time spinning is counterproductive. But there is that 1% that does require some tire RPM to clean the tread so the lugs can keep biting. Once the toyota was out of the holes he had dug, less throttle MIGHT have been better.
I feel bad for the Toyota, A/C condenser is probably ruined, smashed to shit. Be impressed if it doesn't have over heating issues with out major cleaning and possible radiator replacement also.
I took i20 home to Texas from Georgia yesterday. Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana all had sleepyheads driving into shit like this. Tracks in almost every gully. On the way there was a wreck every 50 miles on I10 from tailgating motherfuckers driving like shit. Mostly Texans as illustrated colorfully by my hillbilly wife. I10 averaged 40mph. I20 averaged 80 mph.
Oh that is a good guess. When I worked at a dealer we had one get used in a robbery and a few in accidents and a couple in high speed chases.
Used to drive monthly from KC to Indiana, and a few times I'd run across snowstorms. Bad ones. My favorite was year before last, long straight windy stretch on 70 through Illinois. I counted, and i forget now but I think it was 70 vehicles off the road in a 10 mile stretch.
100% of the pickups were backwards when they stopped. Saw a few running themselves off the road, by using their power as soon as they kit a sketchy stop, and choosing to get themselves into more trouble. I was part of the boring, calm crowd just puttering down the icy, snowy road at 50, with no real problems at all.
Have vaguely heard of the clear-the-tread thing, not enough of an awesome off-road guy to understand when to do it though.
For all the above, "cruise-control" is a VERY large culprit in those conditions, too. Peoples gotta learn to turn them off and do the thinking for themselves.
