In this video I attempted to make a review of some traction boards from Amazon. They seemed to help in one instance when we could clear enough snow to place them. I'll let the video speak for itself. Safety Warning : Please use appropriate connections for straps and chains if pulling other vehicles. A trailer hitch can fail and cause serious injury or death.

cold temps break plastic, regardless of boards. Tires spinning on the boards will wear the plastic down in seconds. This is part of the game. You are supposed to crawl over the boards, not spin on them. I know it's hard or impossible at times, but it's just how it is.

What you needed there to get you out in a snap was a tractor type vechicle or a tracked vechicle like a caterpillar , those boards are not meant for such extreme conditions,sunk down to your floorboards in snow!! Must say that GMC is one powerfull truck 6.2 L V-8...no wonder! Don't bash that much older model Ford compare it to contemporary top tier Ford models!

You should never use a ball hitch for recovery watch a video were a off road recovery guy was showing the limitations of ball hitchs used to pull out stuck vehicles and he also was sharing a tragic story of a ball hitch breaking at the weld and flying through the windshield of the stuck truck and killing the driver.

@DougT25427 8 ай бұрын

Just happened across this older production... so I had to toss out my 2 cents. Clearly the air bags had something to do with your success and starting off with reduced tire pressure could have helped too. I would attribute the majority of the AT4's success to the driver. On that day Don was clearly the better man. I have driven on the OBX beaches. If one reduces his tire pressure to 20 psi they can drive anywhere on the soft beach sand. I tried it once at 30 psi and stuck the truck quickly. A bunch of local teenagers and their father dug me out and reiterated again... 20 psi. I dropped the pressure another 10 pounds and never again have I ever been stuck on beach sand. It may be worth a try in your snow?

Same exact tires. I had a little less air in my tires and I lifted part of my suspension with my airbags. That aside, I am probably just a better driver or better shoveler 😂
