Ford? Chevy? Which Does Better In Sand?

- We got a call for an Ford F250 Powerstroke diesel stuck in the sand at sand hollow. Apparently the auto locking hubs had quit working, so they only had 2wd.
With a couple of good pulls on the Yankum rope we were able to pull it free!
Next we got a call for a Chevy Tahoe that was stuck in the sand near Ashcreek Reservoir.
It was only 2wd so it's pretty easy to get stuck in sand.
After a couple of beard strokes, Matt came up with a plan and we pulled it right out!

Thanks for watching!
When I visit S Utah, I'm going to be very disappointed when I pass the Sand Hollow Guard Shack and the music doesn't start on its own.
We need a CD!
Also the speed limit isnt 450mph haha
Good one!
Just record this and put it on your player.
.....think they will just wave you in??
We come for the stuck trucks, and end up staying for Ed and all his mannerisms. Love that guy! =)
Ed is the "end of an era," sadly. They don't make 'em like him anymore. Now it's snowflakes and worse.
Agreed I wish hed explain who he is. Is it his dad or his wifes dad or just a friend dude watches out for? The main guy also grows on you more and more. Most people who can do what he does puff up their chests and act all macho. Yet he is super kind and has a great heart. All while still being a stud. Envy the dude.
@@riverrat8693 he does explain who Ed is in a video. I'm not sure which one. He is not a relative but has know him for about 10 years. He is as I remember a friend, an employee, and a good guy to have around.
@@RobGADV Plenty of great young people out there! Hard to top Ed though!
My day is only complete when I hear “Ehh it’s Ed evvverybody” my grandpa passed about 10 years ago and Ed could be his brother. Good solid guy to have on your team.
I don't know which of Ed's traits you were speaking of but he is the epitome of an awesome Grandpa. I miss both of mine every time I see Ed.
He is just a solid guy. He always wants to get stuck in and help. It's a shame that that generation are gradually disappearing. I'm sure Matt is proud to have him as a friend
@@liamcosgrave5410 So true. I think the friendship is good for both guys. I hope to meet Ed one day soon but I want this viral junk gone, just in case.
I’ll remember that one of shoe and bed, very good
@Chet Carson You fit right in in that case !
I’m just going to watch one of Matt’s videos
Six videos later....
600 videos later...
1:35 Note to self: investigate the nature of the 4wd system and its overrides before selecting wheels.
JEEP has had "push button" 4wd since 2005.
You have to go back to the 04 WJ with the quadratrack II system to get mechanical 4wd.
@sean hubin aww.. cant help you there.
I'd guess Ford ditched mechanical 4wd when they went to the 97 body style.
But idk..
spaceracer23 you still have manual lockers on the newest models on the heavy duty models
@@lancethomas4566 yup. even the new fords have manual turns in on the hubs.. dumb move covering them up...
GraylingOutdoors except f150s :(
Just finished my Matt Marathon all 192 videos Great channel very entertaining I could watch this content all day always plenty of action love it.
I stumbled on one of Matt’s recovery videos and have been hooked since. My wife asks me why I am watching these videos and I tell her “I don’t know, just can’t stop watching!” But in reality these are pretty cool videos of vehicles in distress with some really ingenious ways of getting them out safely. Not only am I a subscriber but I purchased some pretty cool clothing. Y’all gotta get Ed’s shirt. I wear it everywhere!
I LOVE UNCLE ED. SUCH A NICE GUY. REMINDS ME OF MY LATE GRANDPA. BIG LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA. KEEP SAFE GUYS.
Incognito Unknown you be safe out there 𝕭𝖔𝖊𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗!
Baie Dankie
I noticed and like the new headlights in the banana!
Yes! Was trying to remember if I had seen those before. Cool stuff!
This is the first time I’ve seen them too. Need some night action to see them work.
8:26 Parking in the exact spot that someone has just been towed out of to clear the items they were using to fail in getting them selves unstuck AND THEN drive out with zero hassle Whilst towing them is the biggest display of brass bollocks one man can show.
@Chet Carson I'm just gonna go ahead and guess you were the guy who got stuck?
@Chet Carson you're missing the point. Its not that the guy got stuck but that while pulling the other vehicle Mark literally stopped in the hole, got out, cleared the logs then just continued pulling. No knock on guy that got stuck, he was just blinded by the female he took out there😎
@Chet Carson if it wasnt you that got stuck i can't see why you would be so butthurt and triggered about me complimenting Matt and his XJ in both their capabilities? Perhaps it's because I used the word 'fail' and you're used to this being some kind of negative but was only being used as the term opposite to success in which the self recovery was by no means a success....
@Chet Carson Wow. Daddy must have hit you extra hard today
@Chet Carson I'm still not sure what point you are trying to make. To save some wear on those keys of yours, I think you should really learn how to read before you reply. It's not difficult. You may one day get the opportunity to have a big boy conversation then instead of just having to throw insults left, right and centre.
That improvised sun shade and log jam was impressive.
"So we got a call ..."
One of the best intro lines on UA-cam , love hearing it evertime 😀
Doug DeMuro's "Thiisss"
and
Chandler's Wildlife "What's goin on beautiful people"
are some good ones as well
Who else has some great intro lines?
btw, Ed could easily have his own channel!
One of Ed's side hustle, looking for gold.
I would love love to see Ed having a panning channel, go Ed
Ed with the weather report. Like clockwork.
Im addicted to this channel and i don't know why i cant stop watching. Nice people helping others 👍👏👌
I've recently had an interest in overland camping. One of the most important things I've learned (watching your videos) is that; even with the most capable vehicle, if you don't drive smart you can end up needing help to get you out of a sticky situation. Great work, crew!
Matt makes me feel like the world is going to be ok. Clears branches out of the way for customers who put them there. Another great team effort.
I love your guys videos. You make me feel like I know you guys personally. Please keep it up.
This channel gives me so much motivation and inspiration, Ed just completes it all with his noble sense of charm , much love keep on truckin
Your dad's smile at 9:59 makes me happy he's so happy looking at you ❤️ hope your all having a great day !
I've been looking at the keneitc ropes on the internet, getting ready to add one to my 'gear'. Wished they had been around back when I was out doing the muddin thing. Getting ready to get back into it. Everyone around here have gone sideXside crazy but I started with an old 71 datsun pickup and just can't justify the kind of money they cost. Give me an old piece of iron and I'll build me a machine......lol
I love bikes, quads and sideXsides, but it doesn't replace a proper trail in my Jeep. Different kinds of fun. I agree with you, what they want for sideXsides is ludacris, I can't justify owning my own either!
I had an '83 Toyota 4x4 with 33x12.50 tires and 3" of lift. That truck was such a blast out in the sand. Not fast, but it floated like a boat over the dunes.
Yeah my old man always taught me to tighten the line when towing something, but now with those ropes it's pretty awesome.
Brandon Knight no one gives a chit about the opinions of a holes like you either
Min 5:50 .. Matt consulting his beard for a way out 😂
Funny!
Ask any fella with a beard, stroking the beard helps with the thinking.
I watch Matt’s videos to see Max and Lady and hear Ed’s weather report. Makes my day.
Next video: Ed hitting the jackpot finding gold in that sand. haha Can't think of a more deserving person than him. Our whole family loves his positivity. God bless him!
It's concerning how little people seem to know about their own vehicles.
"Does the 4WD work?"
"Uhhhh... I don't know..."
And going in sand with 2WD 🤦🏻♂️
if you dont use it too often then i can see this happening, cos well, its happened to me
in the works pick up that hasnt seen a paved road in like 4 years, go to take it down a wetter path than normal, chuck on the 4wd and i just could not make it up the hill, called someone else to give me a hand and they said that i didnt have 4wd on, i guess at some point since i last needed to use it someone or something broke it
@sean hubin
A woman owned that truck.
I went to college with a girl that got her Range Rover "stuck" in a mud puddle in the middle of a gravel parking lot. She had no idea that it had 4wd. My friend jumped in, put it in 4wd and it idled out of the puddle.
Ya know, people always praise Matt for being kind and understanding. He doesn't expect everyone to be experts in off roading and vehicle technologies. He's gone as far to explain how people innocently end up in their predicaments. Let's all try to be like Matt.
@@thebritishbiker8197 It happens.
I had just rebuilt the old hubs on my 67 F100 4x4...you know...Dana 44 in the front and 9 inch in the rear, Detroit Lockers at both ends on 33's(nothing huge)...good stuff right?! We went four wheeling one day, nothing abusing. Truck did real good. About 4 months later driving to work in about 6 inch of snow/ice and I was sliding around. So pulled over and locked the hubs in and took off. I was still sliding around. Somewhere between the offroad day and slowday the hub broke...for no reason I know of.
In the end I got rid of those old and weak(but rebuilt)hubs and upgrade the whole front with big "Stainless Steel" slotted rotors , big dual piston calipers and Premium Gold Warn Hubs. SOOO much better now.
Matt’s channel is an amazing example of having fun while helping people
Hello Matt, I’m a new subscriber to you’re channel and just want to say thanks for the awesome content. Hope all is well. Cheers from Michigan.
Ed is such a nice guy....he reminds me so much of my pappy ...unfortunately he passed away a year and a half ago and he was the nicest person you could ever meet and he was funny, always had little jokes to say and loved cars and trucks
Hello from Flagstaff, AZ. Gotta keep checking in for Ed's Weather Report! I'd love to be able to go do some gold prospecting with him sometime. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed watching it.
Miss our train horns in downtown. (in Flag also)
I don't miss the horn.
Love the jeep we have a 92 cherokee str8 6 and I underestimated it until eife and I used it to pull my 2x4 dodge ram out of snow. Jeep was backing up a hill on snow pulling the ram. Those trucks are solid and engine is bullet proof
I also have both XJ and a Ram, but my Ram is 4WD and don't need any help
I bet it doesnt. For 1200.00 new trans and rear end couldn't pass it up it pretty much stays parked now I got a yukon denali lol I use it every once and a while to mess around. I'm thinking of getting the jeep set up like Matt's in a way only rust on it was brake line
i'm watching your videos for a long time now matt and i was no subscriber (but i am now) and i have to apologize for that, you deserve so much more views, genuine nice guy who loves his job and loves to help people in need and ed man he's such a sweet man i hope he lives for another 50 years to keep you company i wish you could greet him for me with a hug 😋 i wish you all the best stay healthy and keep towing ❤ and i can't wait for the toy jeep :D
GREETINGS AND LOVE FROM GERMANY MY FRIEND
Im in the UK and have started watching your vids in the last week im enjoying them they are great, you are a great bloke Matt and lots of people have a lot to thank you for well done
Greetings from Finland Matt😊👋🏻
This channel is just Awesome 👌🏻 You and your team makes great job! Keep it going buddy! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Matt has found his gold mine in the form of Sand, Rubber, and Rental Cars🤣🤣🤣 Keep on mining Matt😁
just discovered your channel, you guys rule. I love everything i see here. There is just something relaxing about watching you rescue people who are in need in such a calm and respectful manner.
Watching Matt and the Winder team successful recovery vehicles is so satisfying!!!
7:14 Mica? I believe Ed knows his schist.😜
Gneiss... I love a good rock joke
Yep, Ed knows!
Ed never takes his environment for granite.
Looked like pure leaverite.... leave er rite there! Dad was a geologist, that one never got old 😂
Ed must be protected at all costs
I love how confident Ed always is and even gives us a weather update every video hes in! Awesome work guys
Gotta love that half-demented snarl of a pissed off 4.0 inline-six. It's got a beauty all it's own.
Why do I have this feeling that the Yukon driver was cheating on his wife back there and that's his side chick lmao
So I'm not the only one who thought that?
Prolly sugar babe
😂😂😂 exactly what I was thinking.
I concur 😆
I was wondering what exactly is going on there myself. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Could have been a family bonding thing and were out following a trail and got stuck. If not? none of my business but hope they are happy either way.
You can see the disappointment on these peoples faces when a little ol raggedy Jeep rescues their butts! Some folks just don't understand!
I cheer out loud every time you get one loose. I love this channel.
I don't even 4x4 but I really enjoy watching this dude hes a beast at his craft!
Every time you go through the station it's always so awkward. Seems like yall want to have a conversation but no one says anything.
Yeah, it's like passing someone or your colleage in the hallway lol
The difference between Ford and Chevy
Ford did not rip off the American
Tax payer then build 4 new plants in China while closing plants in the US
LOVED the sound clip from 3:22! One of the best sounding gas inline 6's ever made.
Full time four wheel drive is great when you don’t need it. Part time with manual locking hubs, and maybe front and rear lockers too, are the best way to go when you really needed four wheel drive.
Stroke the beard of wisdom, then the answer will come! :)
Nice job.
Cant turn the hubs with those center caps in the way
Recent subscriber, and I'm addicted to these damn vids! It's amazing how you maintain your professioinalism and don't call some of these people out for their stupidity. So often when you pull up to a recovery, my initial thought is "What the hell were you thinking/trying to do?".
Every time I watch a new video.. I learn what not to do if I get stuck. Thanks Matt
Putting caps over your locking hubs its just silly you cant change my mind
Ed's eyes light up as He runs sand through His fingers.
he is feeling the gold in it already :9
Yeah . . . gotta love Ed!
We might be seeing Ed's Gold hunting channel soon!
When I was a kid my dad and his buddies used to use a heavy lariat to pull people out. They broke a lot of them but they were basically the same idea as the kinetic ropes.
Oh I'm so glad too see ED on the video straight forward tells you how it is
I hope everyone that sees this has a great day! Awesome video as usual 👍
I came home this morning after a long night at work and my GF was laying naked on the bed for me. I said “ Hold on baby, Matt’s Off Road Recovery just uploaded a new video” 🤦🏻♂️
I think other have said the same, in that they enjoy the videos for: 1/3 the recovery work, 1/3 the scenery and the other half, Ed.
Cheers, Mark
every time you out into the sand on a recovery you stop at a building and speak to some people there is this some sort of check point so they know exactly who is out there , great vidios im in the UK
That's embarrassing a jeep comes to haul out a big a.. ford jajaja good work Matt love your vids.
He’s pulled out every brand truck
@@jrvera7955 a stock or 2 WD Jeep is just like any other brand name car which is not equipped for off road.
What the hell, how can someone buy a two wheel drive Tahoe, it’s like having a two wheel drive jeep or a ski-doo that can’t go on snow
Ed is so helpful. He walks straight to the back to open the door for Matt.
UA-cam recommended your videos, and i've been binge watching them. NO Ragrets my man. Shout-out to Ed and his weather reports.
Come on people everyone knows ford manufactures love vacuum operated everything! How can you have a 7.3 without knowing the vacuum lines are brittle and broken,and even worse cover up your manual locking hub smh
when your girlfriend takes your truck
Those plastic hubs were horrible.
Fords vacuum hubs fail to engage the 4x4. No vacuum = 4x4 engaged.
Same goes for dodge
@@rugerkampf bingo
Lesson for the day....."When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging"🙃
Love it!!! This made my day, thanks.
You only hit the bottom when you stop digging
Man I love seeing the old guys in this video. Adds a comedic element.
A few years back I had to drag a powerstroke F250 up a muddy hill at an off road park. By the time I got it to the top, the 2 manifold cats were glowing on my Cherokee!
Yeeeeeerrrrh 3 min old
I was nr36 like
Greetings From DENMARK 🇩🇰
I can just hear that guy now, "nah babe, i put off road tires on it, it's just like a 4wd now... watch this!"
Yea, and "the ones on the front wheels are the work horses." Sure they are (sarcasm) LMAO.
Hey bro my wife and myself just found and subscribed to your great channel, we’ve been been stuck before and guys like you helped us out, keep up the great content
Had auto hubs on my '91 Trooper. Thought they were great. Indeed very strong. Stripped the splines off one CV and blew up another. Got stuck too many times because they were a mechanical setup (unlocks in reverse, only locks when rolling forward).
Went to manuals and I've destroyed one hub but never got stuck or had to replace a cv since. 👍🤙
Yaba daba do
2-wheel-drive and deep sand don't mix.
They do mix... And nearly become one!
@@MooseTurder You're right. Like a cake mix.
The girl at the park entrance "Have fun!" 😄 Even she knows it's more fun than work.
I give you an A Matt for not laughing out loud at these people getting stuck.
I disown the Chevy members that don't know how to drive or survive 4 wheel drive.
everything gets stuck sometime
Jeeps are good for off-road, Toyota’s for reliability, Chevy for a mix of off-road, reliability and towing capacity (not as good as Jeep or Toyota in those categories) and ford is the best for supporting gay pride
Back in '80s I took a GMC Jimmy to a place called Madain Salah in Saudi Arabia following the old Hejaz railway that Lawrence of Arabia was famous for blowing up in WW I. Miles from anywhere! A Land Rover in the party had sand tires; and it was amazing how it just floated over loose sand. However, the sharp rocks gave it flat after flat. I nearly got stuck in deep sand, but my co-pilot just yelled "keep on the gas - we're still moving!" Sure enough, all four wheels just slowly churned the Jimmy forward until we reached hard ground. I thought the auto trans would be a liability- but it allowed the power to be rationed to the wheels so they wouldn't spin and dig in. Memorable trip!
Ed is looking for the black sand that is where the gold is! He's an old miner too what wise gentleman!
From all the recoveries you have made, what type of maintenance do you provide the Jeep? Also, why a Jeep?
Oh my...
he did a video about this and the the gist of it was. why a Jeep because it's good enough to do the job and they are cheap and parts are cheap. as for maintenance as little as he can get away with and as much as he has to. which is quite alot
jeeps are not cheap vehicles to buy though, like at all. Incredibly expensive machines. Worth it, but not cheap by any standards
@@SB-rf4kt a jeep cherokee xj is not Incredibly expensive by any standard
erik bergström, Thanks Erik. I’m a novice. As a matter a fact I have owned 4 Range Rovers and has not experienced 4low. 😂
I only came here for the music.
Being watching many of your videos
Your channel is one of the best on UA-cam.
Thanks
I don't have my Ford 4x4 anymore. And I leave your work to you. Your awesome.
They all get stuck
True
True dat, lol. Gettin in a jam and getting out is half the fun of goin muddin...lol
Even the banana has been stuck and needed a pull.
What are your thoughts on the new Ford Bronco?
I have'nt really gotten down to research the drive trains on the new bronco but just the styling alone, I'd say they nailed it. One of the best 'resto's' I've seen. Man, that thing looks GOOD! If they got the power part as well as they did the looks then I want one! I was never much of a ford guy but seeing as how all the suv's out there are starting to look like they came out the same factory, like their from cookie cutter cars, if I was to go lookin to buy a new car then the bronco definatly be one I'd be looking at hard. Do you anything about the motor or drive line packages they going to offer for them? I heard they were going to use the ranger platform, if so then they got a good machine. I love the styling, it looks like they def borrowed from the original design and upgraded it to current times. It also looks like a bit of the old international scout was used too. I can see if its got a descent V-6 motor then yeah, I would have to drive one. Good looking machine, loved the old broncos, ford has to make the new one as badazz as the old one, lol.heard the msrp was going to be around 28-32K, whats your take on it.
2021: "So we got a call today..." Ford engineers start drinking, hard.
Matt, your videos are the best towing videos on the internet. Thank you for providing free entertainment for us!
I know all will be ok when ED IS ON THE JOB SIGHT. Everyone on the UA-cam channel is Lucky to have him in your lives.
Ed is always doing the little things that need to be done. Doesn't ask, just does it.
The banana sounds real good when it drifts past the camera! If you have taught me one thing, it’s learn a little about where you are going and the best setup for doing it before you get there! Thanks for the ride along!
Love your channel man I've been binge-watching all your videos for the last week and a half
Recently found this channel. love it. you are such a chill guy. thanks for the uploads!
I like that rope I used to tie a small Tire in between two chains to take the tension out of it when I pulled with that rope is nice
This makes me want an XJ. I've always been a 4runner guy myself, but i'm impressed with this Jeep
Personally, from a know-nothing Brit, I don't understand buying a vehicle like the Tahoe, with only 2WD. And then going for a drive on loose surfaces. But then, what do I know? I love Matt's "go light, and go farther" philosophy.
This channel never fails to show it’s all about driver and tire pressure.
Always good to get the weather report from Ed!
I love Ed's work ethic, always looking to do something. Lot of folks could learn a lot from Ed.
I feel like Ed is the hero I never had in life absolutely love the old guy!!!!! I guess driver/main dude is pretty awesome to
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they are in a vehicle when Matt hits the gas and starts to pull the vehicle that is stuck? Matt as always that you for the great video's and for keeping people safe out there!!
