Grass hid 1.5 feet of deep mud that neither of us saw. Tried to help him out and got stuck as soon as I hit the throttle. Managed to crawl out with concrete blocks, only to sink again 3 feet later. Random tractor eventually got us both out. Now I have enough mud inside to start a garden and a dented tailgate from him pushing.
Lesson learned: 1. Always check the ground around you. 2. A Tacoma can’t pull out a 15,000lb Dodge from the mud.
Bet you won’t forget that lesson!

Haha, definitely not!
At least your truck has a sick color.

Thanks! Everyone knows it’s me when I roll up.

Right? Love that color!
Stock tires, huh?

Yeah, they’re terrible in mud. Any suggestions for a good mud tire that still works on the road? I don’t know much about tires.

I switched to Wildpeaks after getting stuck last year. Great on-road and handled Death Valley off-road like a champ.
@Finnian
I’m in Louisiana, so mud like this is everywhere. Might have to ask locals for recommendations.
@Finnian
Wildpeaks are great in snow too. Quiet but tough.

DuraTracs have worked well for me in multiple conditions.

How about deep mud?

Handled a bit of mud fine a few weeks back, but I wasn’t pulling anything heavy.

Been using Cooper Discoverer AT3s for years. Great balance for road and light mud. Not sure about anything deep though.
Isn’t it a Pro? Those are supposed to be unstoppable!

Maybe check the alignment on the grille. Could affect traction.
A kinetic rope and better tires would’ve helped.

Don’t usually do this stuff, but I might grab a kinetic rope just in case. Tires are definitely on the list now.
