Stuck
You are out there in 4WD and you get stuck. We are talking almost down to the frame. If anyone has driven farm tractor's you know that you can lock the rear differential and have both wheels turn at the same time. Is this possible with a Super Duty truck?

Is it possible to sink a super duty to the frame or lock the rear diff in one?
If the latter, yes. The 11 and newer trucks (not sure about the older ones) have an optional electronic locking rear diff. It works like you'd expect when you pull the ****.

I suppose anything is possible. My F250 came stock with a rear e-locker as did most of them.
And, while it's great to have, I certainly wouldn't rely on that alone to get me unstuck....especially if the trucks buried to the frame.

4wd for most is to get yourself stuck that much further in. I laugh when people bring busted up rigs by and relay a story of hammering down the trail at 30 and just slamming into a hole that sucked in the truck and ripped this that or the other off and then spending 10 hours and hundreds of dollars to a wrecker to get it home. When we did recovery it was 150 for the first 20 feet from the road, 50 more for each additional 10 feet. 100 extra if I have to wash mud from the truck. If I deemed the skidder was needed to extract you that was 1k to start and at dad's discretion how much further it went. We pulled a monster chevy out of the middle of the lake once in January. Had to cut a channel in the ice to move it 200 feet before we lifted it with airbags and pulled it back up onto the ice. That one was 8k and he got a EPA/DEC fine for contaminating the water to boot. Only way some people learn is to hit em hard in the pocket.
