RES4CUE

Obviously you didn't watch the whole video!

Yes there were initially two trucks pulling in tandem but after the first pull it looks as if the strap breaks on the red truck and at the end of the video you can clearly see that the one truck did the work.

Let us not forget the real hero in this story - the guy in the explorer.
Had he not pulled up to give hand signals, that semi would probably still be there.

I tried about a year ago to pull my semi out with my '89 F150 4X4 Lo 300/6 ... Didn't work ... Bent the hook ... Of course the bobtail you pulled out was only about 17,000 pounds ... I had parked my semi with a loaded trailer next to my house, it then Rained about an inch, all the rain came off the roof and pooled up around my truck on the right side ... That night I had to go deliver my load it was about 54,000 pounds, and my right side tires were sunk in about 3"-4" before I started ... I buried the drive axles on my semi ... I then got my wife to run my F150 ... Eventually I had a neighbor with a bobtail, yank and spin on pavement to finally get out!

Congrats on your pull. I am sure you will do it differently next time. I have Super Duty hooks bolted to my hitch. Much safer.

Isn't there another Ford pulling your truck only shown in the first few moments of the video?

I never saw the strap break. And at the end, you clearly see both trucks again.

Well done, not surprised you were able to do it! I myself enjoy towing all kinds of people out of anywhere, very satisfying!!!

I towed a 40 foot Transit Bus that had gone off the road and was stuck in a snowbank about 7 years back with my '97 4.6L 4x4. No damage to the truck.

Was this at beach access #5 on SPI? I used to live down there. Love that place.

I think some video editing took out the strap to the second truck. One truck or two it's still a good pull besides using the ball, that could have ended badly.
