    Unimpressive. No, I'm not saying that because it's a Dmax and I'm a Dodge guy, I'm saying that because it's easy to pull out stuff in that kind of condition.

    We've got 15 of those big dumb headaches, and I don't know how many times I've pulled them out of what appeared to be a bad stuck, with my pickup and and even smaller.

    You could clearly see the Fedex guy nearly pushing himself, and more so had a problem tyring to actually get back on the road. IMHO, it looked like the Dmax guy just helped him mainly get back on the road and from sliding along the shoulder.

    Years ago I had a job with a few rigs of mine for a school district here locally, we were hauling sand in and dumping it on the school fields to help the grass like they do on golf courses.

    I can't even count how many times I pulled my guys around with my little 1/2ton K5 blazer when sprinklers had made the very top surface of the grass just a tad too slick. It looked impressive, but it wasn't.

    When a truck is stuck, the fuel tanks are sitting in the mud, don't ask me how I know, but I will say it takes more than a pickup....:doah:

    It's not that much different from when your car is stuck in the snow and your Wife jumps out and pushes it free from behind. Some times you just jeed a little tug to get you going but it's still funny.

    WE do it everytime it snows. I pull anyone who is stuck. We pulled semis with my buddys f-250, I pull trucks with the wifes tahoe and even a couple of cars with my 2wd s-10. its alot of fun and people are always greatful. we got a couple free tanks of fuel, cash and even some movie tickets.

    I know in some situations like that one it is relatively easy to pull on. I posted it b/c it looks bitchin and this guy has it documented on the news. pretty cool IMO

    No no, don't get me wrong. It is a cool video, I learned all about a blizzard around the Chicago area and that Dmax did sound pretty good.rotfl

    It's just that a lot of people get all excited over something small pulling out something big.:doah:

    I think my package must have been on that truck, and he got stuck again further up the road....because I'm still waiting for Fedex to show up....:doah:
