I had a little trouble in the driveway at my inspection today.
Thanks to my wife for the AAA card as I did not have to pay and I was inspecting so I did not waste but 20 minutes getting unstuck.
My truck blows for traction. If there is a covering of snow and an incline of an inch I go nowhere fast.

David, there have been many days this winter when the 4 wheel drive saved my rear end.
Maybe for your next truck.

What’s that white stuff? Looks like some sort of powder.

You know that you can make that yellow circle in the snow yourself. It will just heat up a smaller area.

Next time I get stuck I will have a case of beer in the truck. That way I can keep urinating on my tires and driveway.
That’s how we thawed switch locks when I worked on the railroad. We had plenty of beer in us from the night before. :shock:

I’ve been stuck several times this winter like that, and then decided to carry a snow shovel with me, so that I can dig out enough space behind all 4 tires, so that I can rock myself out.
Its worked each time…

I had a shovel but it did not help me out. I even had new tires purchased this fall.
Oh well, glad the wife paid for the AAA service.

AAA is a good buy. We’ve been a member for many years.

Got weight in the back? I referred to my truck as the Gentle Giant during my first winter with it. Hills and more than 4 inches deep of snow often put it to shame. Ever since I started putting 700 lbs of sandbags in the back in the winter (and maintain proper tire PSI), it handles like a glove through even the nastiest of snow.
