I pulled a stuck 18 wheeler out with my truck. God I wish I had someone around to take a video.

All 8 wheels of the truck were stuck in relatively deep ruts in the ice. I used 4 wheel low and granny gear. I didn't even touch the gas, just let the clutch out. The torque at idle of the Powerstroke and the gearing allowed me to pull him out at idle. Freaking cool. No tires slipped even on the wet pavement. I don't know if he was loaded or empty, but I felt the stretch in the strap, so it definitely had some weight to it.

As I snapped the picture, some guy watching said "that was awesome. An F250 pulling an 18 wheeler". Yep, I agree.

I love my truck!
