Is your truck 4x4? Does it have limited slip? Is the boat ramp slippery? How are your tires?

And the chiming...is your door open? Is your passenger not buckled up?

Yeah main thing is if your truck is a 4x4 or just a 2WD. The 4-low makes all the difference in the world. I had a 12,000 lb trailer behind my 1/2 ton and once i had to climb a hill on the ranch i put it in 4-low and didnt have a single problem, its slow of course but it will make it!
