Default What have YOU pulled out/recovered with your F150?

I just pulled a Honda Civic being a good Samaritan out of a ditch after our first snow storm of the year. My truck is a 08 4.6 4x4. The tricky part was the roads were lightly snow covered and icy. Just pulled the Civic back to the nearest driveway on the other side of the street and used that driveway to pull it out of the ditch. I was surprised how well these trucks perform in these situations, never broke traction on my stock truck! Lots of torque, love the truck. What have YOU recovered? Mud/Snow/Etc

When I first met my wife her and her friend managed to get her friends Saturn stuck in about a foot of snow sideways between parked cars in the street. I hooked on in my 08 5.4 screw and pulled the car sideways down the street maybe 250-300feet . Then hooked to the front and spun it around. Truck towed it like nothing. I haven't had a chance to tow anything in my new '12 screw Eco

I towed that car in reverse using the front hooks. But if I have to hook to the rear I either use a strap and put the hitch pin through the eye or use my rope that I spliced some hooks onto
