...of the F-150! Below is a photo I took of a Schwann's food/ice cream delivery truck that slid off a driveway while attempting to back down. His front wheels were totally in the ditch, and 1 rear set of duals. After the photo from the road, I offered to help out. Hooked up my big tow strap and gave the signal to go. It felt like I was hooked to a tree. Apparently, the driver was a total rookie because after it didn't move, he asks me if he should put it drive...
After a 2 minute lesson in getting pulled out, we proceeded. It took 6-8 good, and I mean stuff from the seats to the floor good tugs to get him out, I succeeded. If I had not got the front wheels on the tar road for traction, and eventually the rear wheels, I am not sure I would have done it. I did however, have my plow on, along with 420 lbs of sand bags in my box, 4x4 low range, the electric locking rear, and the 5.0 to help get'er done! He gave me a quart of ice cream for pulling him out. 
Saved him about $146.50 I am guessing.

All the ecoboost trucks drove on by...scared. 
Kidding, I am sure an ecoboost would have done just fine, if they would have had the same weight of course. I think that is what helped me.

[MENTION=134511]dannofx4[/MENTION] & SA73 - sorry the late reply but been too busy smoking with our mayor and drunk driving with him honestly though, not everyone here ever liked him, but 1 thing's for sure he does mistakes like all those that want to "hang" him, only he exposes himself stupidly while the others cynically shoot, but stink... Political games!
Honestly though, I'm toooooo busy working and enjoying my ride to even bother with it.
and... Doh! The tow truck guys are getting all the stranded damsel... Doh!
Long Last Ford!
(Our rides obviously)
