even if the f250 didnt have 4x4 you should of been able to get it out. unless you didnt have 4x4 as well then i can see that.

was going to say 4l in frist gear, and have the f250 pul it in first gear and idle and when they felt the tug give lil gas, that is how i got a f250 and f350 out.

i got stock gear and stander AT tries

next time we all go out and play i will have my vid cam out there so when they get stock i get in on the cam me pulling them out. just to throw it up in there facies later. then again thats how we are

Always a blast

i think my favorite is when you pull up to a bigger vehicle and the owner is like.... you can't rescue me with that. Or you make it through the same hole they just got stuck in lmao

it is all about the power to weight ratio and how the vehicle is able to put it to the ground. also weight to ground surface tension helps.
