powerstoke w-trailer vrs mud

yesterday it rained all day long and we had to get our equipment out of this building we have been working on. the only way to get it out was to back up hill across about 4000ft of wet clay mud the kind of **** that you step in and try to walk and your shoes try to come off in the mud, it was very slick as well. so i started backing up with spinning the tires the biggest problem is the trailer was bottoming out and would start sliding and pushing the back end of the truck to the side. so i would have to pull froward and get it straight again. I almost got stuck a couple of times but eventually made it. getting back down with the trailer fully loaded was the scary part however, the trailer pushed me all the way down the hill and almost jack knifed at the bottom aftermath pictures to come soon

im certainly glad i went with the larger tires lol the tread pattern wasn't matched very well for pulling **** threw wet clay mud but considering this is the first time iv had this truck in the mud wouldn't pay to be running around on murders all the time ill save that for the Toyota
