Then there are people like my brother. Had not been stuck in at least 25 years. Bought a 4X4 Suburban, then a few months later, a Jeep for his DW. With the Chevy, he backed a trailer load of brush near the ditch to unload. Called his wife, got the Jeep stuck too. Called me, my wife had the pickup, so I got his old 4X2 Suburban, and pulled them both out (One at a time). 2nd load of brush, we used the '48, no trouble.
