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.

No reason to be embarassed. Most people learn the hard way.

You can also jack up the truck and then pull/push the truck forward or backward off the jack. Just don't be near the jack.

That would be my fear. I have heard of other people dumb enough to try it. I'd be worried about the vehicle, too. These people were driving 20 year-old beaters though, so what's another ding?
