Yeah, Ok. That's close......
Depends upon how they are stuck, and what is around......dropped my 88 K3500 right front wheel in a ditch, 4wd could not get me out, but could with a rwd toyota 4 banger to pull it back, as I lifted the front end out of the ditch with my bobcat. voila, truck was free. Yota driver got a kick out of that one! FE was bottomed out majorly! Even the yota driver admitted, his dually Fummins would not have pulled it out in 4lo! it would have needed the bobcat to lift the front tire out of the predicament it was in.
4wd is NOT the end all be all of every situation!
Obviously there are exceptions but my 4wd has only been stuck once when i high centered it on top of a sand dune. However that same truck has pulled out dozens of 2wds and a few 4wds with dumb drivers in sand, snow, mud etc. I agree that 4x4 is not the end all be all. However it is *almost* unstoppable (within reason) with good tires and with a smart driver behind the wheel.
