Sorry, based on your description, I don't see it...
"put the truck in drive and proceeded to sink in mud up to the rim :/."
Seems to me, the wet grass didn't get you stuck, the rim-deep mud under the wet grass was the culprit!
I had my old 1994 Dodge CTD 3500 dually 4X2 on wet grass, in and out of pastures and hay fields (loaded and empty), on loose gravel, on wet forest skid trails, etc., and never got stuck.
Just lucky I guess.
Yes, you are right. A 2wd is actually competent when properly equipped.
This post was more about Friends that it was my truck. I don't think I communicated it very well. Its not about mud or grass, its about stuff happening and my friends being there for me. Will they aggrivate me? Sure, will we laugh around the campfire? Yes! But they were there for me :) And I am there for them.
Now, on to the technical stuff, my truck, being a 2wd was at a disadvantage, also, being a non limited slip was also a disadvantage. The tires that sunk in the mud were the drive tires. Also, my tires are about wore out so the tread quickly filled with mud and that was about it.
Had I had good tires, locker, I would have probably been fine. Am I going to go sell my dually and buy a 4x4 because of this one event? No, I'm not?
Thanks!
