Jim had me going with his legend till he made the boat ramp issue.
I've been launching boats with motorhomes, bus conversions, RWD Chevy vans (who actually suck on everything, but size) , RWD flatbeds, and traction was never issue.
I recall slight issue with FWD Volkswagen pickup, but still manageable.
There are big tide changes in Puget Sound. I’ve seen more than one vehicle stuck on the ramp because of algae or mud on retrieval. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Usually, someone feels sorry for them and hooks a chain/tow strap to their front.
BTW, also happens on rivers and lakes. Try a search for vehicle stuck on boat ramp. Some ramps are extremely steep as well.
Fwiw, it was all true, but I don’t know if you should believe me since it is the internet ...
