6.7L Stuck In the Mud?
I didn't beleive it untiil I watched the video. He must of had racing slicks on that truck.
Which one of you was driving? :-X04 |
There's much to be gained with proper tires.
|
Heh..I got my 6.7 stuck in snow and had to yank it out with my 88 Ranger...
|
heavy truck and poor tire tread.
|
In the Army, we got tanks stuck in the mud. That video proves nothing.

When I was in high school I drove my 4x4 Chevy pickup into a field that had a special type of mud. It was maybe 1/4" deep. I was stuck with all four tires spinning. We had to string together multiple tow straps to get me out. Nobody had a winch back then.
That said, I do feel sorry for the guy getting pulled out by a Subaru. |
with the right tires and heavy throttle even my DRW can push some mud
Running Cooper A3's now. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...4f649d75a4.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...552875f186.jpg |
You have to feel for that dude...
IMHO, I wonder if he had the OEM Michelin LTX ATs with less than half the tread left? That truck was going nowhere fast. |
Switch places and the Subaru would likely be stuck in the mud. Right tires makes a big difference though sometimes the mud is just too much.
|
I had an 1988 Ranger 4X4 and that was a heck of a truck!
|
Most likely had the worthless stock michelin a/t 2 tires on it, those tires are useless unless you are on pavement.
|
Making excuses only makes it worse. :-X18

I think the torque of these trucks and the lightweight rear end leads to getting them stuck pretty easily. I have 35x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my truck and with a Tyrant street tune, it wants to spin the tires in mud or snow any time you touch the gas pedal. It's really easy to start spinning and then dig a hole making it worse.
I've never gotten stuck so bad I had to be pulled out, but it usually requires mashing the pedal and spinning your way out while digging a rut. There's no carefully crawling out of a muddy spot with it. You're going to make a mess. |
