Helped a stuck Dodge.

Well after 5 years i finally got to use the 4LO on the ex. A Dodge pick up was stuck in some swamp grass. It was a 2WD sport truck. I had a tow strap in the EX and hooked it from my tow bar to his. The Ex had so much pull that I had to ride the brake to keep it at a slow safe pull.

The Ex idled the Dodge right out. Dam this thing has some pull in 4LO! The only bad thing was that I got the Ex dirty. :-)

That's great to hear, the Ex in 4lo seems like a tank, well it almost is. LOL

I still maintain that an Ex deserves to be dirty.

Hope you didnt give the Dodge driver TOO much of a hard time, haha.

You know the rules: If and when you do something with your X such as pull someone out, lift your truck, add new rims and tires, or just something you don't see everyday, pics are required!

How else are we to show off how awesome and capable these trucks are?
