I just felt like starting a new thread, because everytime I go up to the mountains to try to do some coyote hunting, I end up pulling out a Chevy. So far I've pulled out 4 different Chevys, and one Ford. Including the times I have been stuck in my life, even with my old 2 wheel drive truck, it has always been much easier to pull out the Chevy, than pulling out a ford. Has anybody else done the same?

When I pulled out the guy yesterday, I had go up a hill, and up the side of the shoulder through about the same depth to get in front of him and then pull him out. Him and his buddy were digging for 3 hours. I think they were very appreciative. It was actually the easiest time to get someone unstuck. It took longer to hook up the straps. It takes a lot to stop a Ford with a V8 and 4x4.

i havent had the opertunity to pull out any big trucks. but ive pulled a 2wd mini toyota. it was the one before the tacoma. he was an idiot. went slow over some rutts and floored it when his tire was at the bottom of it. i only had a chain but it was an easy pull.

I hate when people come by, but don't offer to help. I got stuck in the mountains this winter, but got lucky. It was a pretty decent size snow bank and I fell through, and my buddy came up with his 2500 Chevy and but he couldn't even get through the easy stuff to get close. So then I went back to town and anther friend helped me out with his lifted cummins. Luckily it was only about 10 miles outside of town.

Pulled one out 2 weekends ago. Guy went ice fishing, and on his way back to the road , he ended up in the ditch. I pulled him out, and when he went to drive away, he damn near went back into the same ditch. lol.

I would help out any decent person, but if someone has to be an ass, then they are on there own, its just uncalled for and rude, thats just me, thankfully that is not normally an issue.

I offer, its when I find them to be rude, that I may change my mind.

Not with my Expo yet but im sure it could have handled it. I had to tow this dodge back from the dealership to the local university and then pull him up on a dovetail trailer. I put it in 4wd high to pull him up on the trailer just for good measures.
