    maybe if you looked at the pic a little more you might have seen that he still have oem tires and is pulling a 24' or longer trailer also out and up a slight incline.

    I was gonna say, what 4" of snow give or take? He should'nt be stuck unless it's a 2wheel drive truck without snow tires, even then it's a heavy enough truck.

    BUT, it is a FORD after all!

    Well, I've been rescued by Chevy's and Ford's in snow. Sometimes, just takes a little patch of ice and you're not going anywhere, no matter what you drive.

    It is a 4x4. At first when he called me he thought something was frozen since it would not go into 4wd. He unhooked from the trailer and I yanked him up. I tried to get a pict of that time but my hands were so cold my touch screen would not work. I looked at his hubs when we were trying to figure out why the 4X4 would not work and I saw that one of the hubs was not locked. He did not have his glasses on and thought it was. He then backed down and hooked the trailer back up. There is a hump on the uphill drive way that evidently the Toyo OCs just could not get traction on. The picts are when we hooked the Toy back up just to help get over the hump. I was going to try to pull the trailer up myself but he would not let me try. We are good friends and he knows I would bring that up every day!!

    I believe it, most would be surprised how little traction you can have in the snow/ice. If you come to a complete stop on a hill, there's a fair chance you might not get going again, or worse you might go backwards.
