My brother owns a Tacoma and is a member of a Tacoma forum. He sent me this link a couple of weeks ago. If you look at the pics, the Tacoma has mud tires on it and the F150 has street tires on it. No wonder he got stuck!! Trying to go through mud like that with those tires was asking for trouble.

I pulled a 3/4 ton Dodge 4x4 out of the ditch this past winter because of snow. We all have our bad days.

Them Tacomas are known for being pretty good off roaders. Can't say I'm surprised with the Ford having stock tires. Not to mention the mud tires and the Taco's much much lighter weight.

...But man, gettin' pulled out by a 4 cyl. mini... I'd be embarrassed no matter what tires I had. Just shouldn't have gone mudding lol.

 

I would never let a Toyota pull me out...his accelerator might get stuck in WOT.

 

That 150 looks like it had Pirellis on it which will cause you to get stuck on dry pavement let alone muddin.

Still, it would be embarrassing to get pulled out my a 4 cylinder Tacoma.

 

yea but even if it does get stuck in WOT, you touch the brakes in a 7000lb truck, that little taco aint goin no where.

 

The little Taco that could!

 

Little vehicles often work quite well for recovery vehicles. My jeep has pulled out many full size trucks and other vehicles.

 

it happens.

btw, that style of Taco isn't exactly small. The Taco has been on steroids for the past 6-7 yrs now.


have to say though that those KM2's did get themselves a good selling point. If they can help a Taco get enough grip to yank a 5,500 to 6,000 lbs Supercrew that has laid frame...they must work pretty good

 

Pushing a rope is one thing ...
... pushing it with a Toy on the other end though?



Now that takes some doing.

 

Thats amusing!

 

Its simple really. When a vehicle is just past the point of being mobile and is "stuck" it can require very, very little help to get it moving again.

I've seen many times a stuck vehicle be pushed out by one or two PEOPLE.

 

The F150 was an XLT, so chances are it didn't have a LSD.

 

Oh well it happens, I know that if I am ever stuck I really dont care what pulls me out as long as they dont leave me there. Eating a little crow is better than calling a tow truck.

 

Looks like a lariat to me...and XLTs come with LSD. My '03 did at least.

 

he's right.. .my 4x4 5.4 XLT has a 3.55 LS
