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.
