Or they could have dug a trench behind the wheel. They also would have had to dig out the rear diferential. As it was if he had something that could have pulled it out of there without digging or jacking the rear of his truck would have looked simular to the car in the other video.
Hitches are not made to tow a vehicle that is stuck.
I am embarassed to admit that I never thought of jacking the vehicle up and filling in the hole before lowering it. Thanks for the insight. It's things like this that I hope to never have to use when offroading, but if I have to, it's better to know it than to end up like these guys.
