You'd think a Dodge pick up could jump a ditch.........

But Noooooooo............................

Wasn't really that big of a ditch but the rear bumper touched down, unloaded the rear end and just sat there spinning the tires.
Had to call a bigger truck to drag it back out.

What is this world coming to?

Used to be that even a Dodge car could jump a river, let alone a truck.

I was more concerned with planting the front bumper than the rear. My 15yo was in the back seat saying "noooooo"so I was going slower than I should have been. A little momentum would have probably saved me, or a 4wheel drive, or a paved road. But hey it was fun in the end. Reminded me of back in the day shenanigans.
