A truck that is not 4X4 is not a truck!
My 86 Dually disagrees. Max GVWR 10,000 lbs, took a 5th wheel horse trailer with 5 fat horses, weighed at the CAT scale 16,000 total. Drove from El Toro to Cherry Point to Dallas. No problems at all. Truck weighs 4,000 or so.
@@robertmorris8997 Yes, that can pull but try putting 16K of a boat and trailer down a wet ass ramp.
@@Toddstang68 Well, I DID take I 20 to avoid the mountains. I took 5, 10, then 20. So whatever mountains are on 10, that's all I really dealt with. Don't remember laboring up in 3rd gear or anything.
In a few months maybe we'll see how it does with a 40 ft Fountain. I don't have accurate information, but someone said 9,000 pounds.
"If you got the money to blow on a boat, you got the money to blow on a truck that's able to tow that boat." -Wise words from my father, who's a seasoned boater.
Good 1!
Is it because they don't have 4 wheel drive?
$100,000 boat, $25,000 truck.🤔😂😂😂
@martinhooker81 More along the lines of not having a big enough truck for the boat. Even if this truck was a 4x4 it still would have needed help to get off the ramp.
Thinking the same thing
always use a 4 wheel drive for boating and turn it on before you hit the ramp
Florida-Man does NOT purchase 4WD!!
Growing up we never had 4wd and never had an issue.
Need more than 4WD in this situation. Need a 2500 or 3500
Dad had a 49 Dodge 4 door, 14' Sears runabout with 45hp Sears engine. Usually didn't have a whole lot of trouble getting it in and out. Trouble was usually getting the car to start, push started it a lot, Dad sinking the boat or falling in the lake.
💯💯💯
When I was 17 yrs old in Utah in 1982 I would hang out at the boat ramp and watch for older men who were obviously retired guys that had bought their dream boat and didn’t know what they were doing and offer to back their boat in for them and park their trailer while they pulled their boat over to the dock. made a ton of money in tips!
Smart!
If I ever move to Florida, I’m gonna buy a 4x4 and wow people 😂😂
What I don't understand is why doesn't the marina have a tug cart on duty, I live in Maine and whenever we get slick on the ramp there is ALWAYS either someone to run the tug or someone with a hook to help you out! I'm sure glad I don't live around unhelpful people!!
It seems like every man and woman for themselves down there.
Yeah, some places expect you to take some personal responsibility. The guy’s truck was too small for his boat and should have at least had 4wheel drive. Could’ve let some air out of the rear tires. Hell he may have been driving on bald tires before he even launched the boat.
Yurp. Mine has a tractor. A lot of owners just plain use it instead of even trying with their truck. Good business.
That’s because Mainers have a sense of community.
I’m guessing here but most likely because money. Either they don’t have it or don’t want to spend it on a tug. Most likely the latter
a RWD pickup needs to keep front wheels pointed straight ahead since, without 4WD, the fronts add resistance if turned off straight line forward.
Absolutely. Wonder if a bag of sand to scatter up the ramp is acceptable - to get grip.
Always amazes me when people can't pull out yet there is a 200 lb person standing in the boat.
She was a little less than that 😂
@@ranger70no....she wasnt
I'am a concrete engineer. This concrete ramp should of been finished with a rough finish by raking top surfaces with a garden rake to create a rough top surface for wheel traction. That's how all are Boat ramps are cast in Virginia by Game & Inland Fishes State Boat Ramps. This boat ramp should have top surface replaced or have surface hammer with air impact flat hammer to create a rough surface. It's Florida lots of concrete contractors down there.
Looks like concrete contractor didn't know anything about boat ramps. You need a rough finish, not a smooth trowel finish. I been boating over 50 years and I know what I'am seeing and over 30 years in concrete experience.
Seems like the city cheaped out and didn't want to pay a measly couple hundred bucks to cut grooves into the concrete.
thank you, I was thinking the same thing. Why is it so smooth. I live in the New England and all of our ramps are finished rough for traction.
When I go to a boat ramp, depending on the slick conditions of the ramp, I will put snow chains on the rear wheels of my truck before I even drive down to pull out my boat. The look on everyone else's face when I effortlessly pull my twin engine 40' boat out is classic. $80 pair of chains is well worth the hassle!
work smarter, not harder.. I like it
I absolutely love the comradery in the boating community...most of the time 🙏
Florida-man at his finest.
Amazing the crews from both docks could have assisted each other, but NOOOOO!
The boat ramp is where relationships are lost! 😂
Never buy a 2wd truck if you plan on using it for work.
I found your channel randomly yesterday, I love it. Keep up this brilliant content, it's so good.
They could have taken the floor mats out of the truck and put them in front of the tires and worked it out. Don't tell me that don't work, because it did for me.
And sent your mats into the ocean lol
Many years ago in my teens, we had speed boat with an outboard motor. The ramp we used got extremely wet and slippery, so we solved the problem by attaching a long rope between the trailer hitch and the car's tow bar. The car remained on level ground whilst my father backed back. Worked every time.
been boating 50 years, always had zero issues usung a 4wd.
3:00 I see 2 on the dock and one in the boat not helping. At least the one in the boat finally moves forward.
one can try releasing some air from the rear tires to get more surface area and grip.
I doubt that would work. The problem is the damn ramp is smooth concrete. I've seen ramps in Texas that have ridges cut across so the tires can get grip. The dock seems to be a bit of a poor design.
These boat launch areas really need to up their game to have less slippery ramps.
Have a tow vehicle that is capable of launching and retrieving your boat
@@mattharper588It has nothing to do with the engine or hp. The truck has NO traction. If you have no traction, then it doesn't matter if you have a 700hp 8 liter V10. You're not going anywhere.
@@largol33t12 I guess I should have clarified it better if the guy is going to launch and retrieve a boat of that size he should have a four wheel drive truck I tow a boat and a travel trailer and that is what I use in case I need it
One of the biggest issues in warm climate areas is that dealers sell, and people buy rear wheel drive pickups without a locking differential always get a locking differential even with so called 4-wheel drive or you won't actually have a true 4-wheel drive. If towing a lot of weight especially a boat on an angled surface that may be slippery always opt for the 4-wheel drive with locking differentials, front and rear if available. just FYI if you don't have one and need it your rear diff can be changed to one.
Locking differentials almost never come into play on a ramp, it's very rare to see a truck only spinning one rear tire. All my launching has been with 2wd, no locker, and no problem, but my ramps aren't as slick as that one is.
@@DonziGT230 As I mentioned the slippery ramp and how a locking diff makes a big difference the weight of the boat and how steep the ramp also makes a major difference a locking diff gives far better traction in any slippery condition and these ramps if you watch closely are spinning one tire most of the time.
@@JP-ou8ybabsolutely correct!
For the most part, reduce the torque on the drive wheels to reduce spinning. To do this, place the transmission in L2.
It would still be in L1. It's an automatic at idle. 1 or 2 clicks on the emergency brake to keep a tire from spinning. Poor man's positrac.
i like how the lady on the boat was pushing the boat , like it was doing something
Having 4 low is a wonderful thing... even with my little 1748 jon boat and 40hp jet I use 4 low pulling the boat out.. granted I'm usually on a gravel bar..
There is NO 4-anything. Florida boaters do NOT buy 4WD vehicles!
Me too i have a gladiator and a17ft Jon boat 75 hp low range, making it easy
Aussie here, every person standing around woulda been straight over pushing and helping :):):)
My man got the job done. 👍
Need to keep front wheels STRAIGHT when pulling out to reduce rolling resistance.
YES!! I was once told during a EVOC driving class that turning the wheels from straight is the same as 30% braking.
I pull a Regal 28 Express with my Ram 1500 DT 4x4 with 3.5 inch lift, HD progressive tow springs and 35x12.5x20's. I had no issues so far.. 4 Low works very well to pull a 8000 lb. boat out on a steep ramp.
If your going to tow a boat and use a boat launch ramp on the regular...maybe you should check the box for 4WD!
parking brake trick always works here
Good thing the launch spot is go to is not busy. I stress all the time😂
I am done inviting friends who invite their friends, trash your boat, no gas money or provisions. When docking, they are ordering pickup pizzas, their car keys in hand
Jump off and ask when we are boating next. LOL
I wasn’t even aware, that model Ram not coming with 4WD.?. 🤷🏻♂️
Pretty much trucks are 2WD or 4WD, depends on $$.
@@billeldon and most floridians are cheap as hell.
Makes me want to get into boating.
Pull e brake just enough to where it slightly engages and then drive out. The slight brake pressure on the back tires should act like a limited slip. Works for me off-road but I’ve never tried it on a slippery ramp.
lol this was the funniest one in a long time man oh man
Last two times I had slippage I just put it in 4wd. Both of my trucks and Sequoia ate 4wd. Don't have to use 4wd often but it is nice to have when I need it.
Why would you get a Rwd truck? Let alone if you tow a boat?
If that's the best you got for towing a boat at least get pails of sand or sand bags, or snow mats for slippery ramps, tow ropes in case somebody wants to help ? better than losing truck, prepare for the worse, but if serious boater get 4x4 !
None of those trucks have 4x4?
@CortanHarr Florida is about "show", not utility or performance of their vehicle. Don't need no stinking 4WD here, just another good wash and wax on the 2WD 'truck'.
The Miami area is a different animal from the rest of Florida!
I’ll keep my boat at the boat house and have it forklifted in and out!!!! That boat ramp looks like a horrible day!!!!!
I had this problem one time and all I had to do was press the 4x4 button on the dash. Problem solved! Ramps are the same here in western PA. Never had this problem again.
This is why you have 4x4 when you own a boat
When u save some money on the truck to have enough to buy a boat 🛥️ 😂
8:00 just sit in back and do nothing. I blame the parents for allowing it.
F150 4x2 has only a 14k lb towing capacity, however that is rated on dry flat ground.
Could have a billion lb towing capacity. Not going anywhere until rear wheels bite!
4wd and a bigger truck. Could have lowered the tire pressure in the rear to get a little more grip. The guy that backed down to the right of him as he was struggling, was able to pull his much larger Cigarette boat out very quickly because he had the appropriate vehicle. Hell for all we know this guy could have been driving around on bald tires.
Only. That’s the highest there is that’s a lot for a quarter ton. Dude 40 foot boats don’t weight that. My 21 foot searay is 3400. Anyway. It’s a f150 I don’t care what it can tow. It’s a hunk of shit lol
Don't you have like special cuts in the programme? So it gives the tires more grip? We've got different Lake little raise bits on our boat. Ramps here in Australia to help the boats get out..
The city got lazy and didn't want to pay to have cuts in the concrete. That's lazy on the dock designer's part. In my state, the docks have those cuts on the ramp so the tires can actually get a grip.
Someone with a tractor or ATV and tow rope on call would be welcomed I'm sure.
That would be a good side hustle.
That should be scored concrete all the way to the asphalt. Who is designing their ramps?
Nice to see an American boat with a mailbox 😂 onboard
That’s a grill
@@mattharper588 ofcourse I know, but be honnest...it looks like a mailbox
I tow that with my Audi Q5 Quattro easily of the ramp!
They all need to get a 4wd trucks, especially for towing.
5:40 girl not giving it any real gas is really pissing me off. lol
I get to that ramp at 5 am you don’t have to deal with a bunch of animals
The marina needs a little tractor or tug cart!
4X4!!! Ya’ll!??? Get the right tires!! Get ir right!
In Florida, a 4x4 is hard to come by apparently
What's cheaper. new tires or a a tow?
I do not understand why they make ramps so smooth
I agree, doesn’t it clue in ???? Use the 4x4 mode ???
In my era..one of us pulling out would’ve hooked on and gave en a tug..
Apply a little parking brake when the tires spin, it will keep the one spinning from spinning so much and apply traction to the opposite wheel.
@@ourpresidentswallows6017 You've never done that? You're not from the northeast where we use it frequently if stuck on a patch of ice. If you can restrict a free spinning axle, more drive force will be transferred to the immobile wheel.
@@richerwin6397 I was born and raised in the northeast and I’ve been to mechanic school and work on all my shit. I’ve never heard a single person mention this once in my 37 years of age
@@ourpresidentswallows6017 I'm 62, seriously though if you ever get a chance on a car or truck without posi, if you can make one wheel spin freely in drive, slowly apply the functioning parking brake and that wheel will slow and the reduced power from that end of the axle will be applied to the opposite end.
@@richerwin6397 sweet thanks
Florida man don’t need no 4wd to get the boat out of the water, they just do burnouts to maximize traction
Larger boats you really need 4x4 whether its a 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck.
is this a ramp design flaw?
seems lower gradient over longer length
Won't work, as trailer will have to be backed up further to get boat to float - at which time the 2WD vehicle will have wet tires. The rest is history.
@@SARDOGFL hmm guess they need a inline winch then for the ramp
That's why they make 4 wheel drive!!!!!
Ever thought about 4X4 Low Range?!
The biggest problem is you bought a truck without 4 wheel drive and you know you own a boat. At the
very least I have never owned a pickup truck that at least did not have a locking rear end, most of
these trucks are only spinning 1 wheel on the rear end, NOT 2....
Someone with 4 wheel drive and a tow strap could make some easy money
Can’t they throw sand on the ramps for traction ? Seems like anything would help.
What if you let air out of the tires?
This is when you need a truck with 4x4 to do truck things
They need more grip on the ramp!!!!
My truck is a two wheel drive, I keep traction pads on the bed just in case I ever get into a situation like thisn
Wouldn’t a 4x4 be better for towing boats I mean idk I’m not an expert but I’m thinking about buying a truck and boat in the future
They wouldve gotten it with the power out if she would've actually given it the onions and at the right time.
yes she waited to long on the boat throttles to get momentum behind the truck.
If you own a boat you own a 4 wheel drive
Sounds like some one needs Utv or decent Tractor a beer or two and charge 20-40 dollars a tug
People need to learn about 4x4
I wouldn’t want to go to sea with any of them.
I mean, they should've made that ramp out of marble would've been a lot better and wax it too
Who owns the ramp? That is the dumbest, smoothest concrete I've ever seen. Even in here in Alaska, we texture the ramps so you can pull your boat in the SNOW.... I feel bad for the drivers for having to tolerate the incompetence of whom ever built that ramp.
My TRX can get the job done ✔️
That's what happens when you don't gotta forward it for you people.
No 4 wheel drive?
The truck is it not a 4 wheel drive. and probably to low pressure on the rear axle.
Buy a chevy, been on atleast 50 different ramps and never once needed 4x4. Boat and trailer is 7500 lbs. Silverado for the win!
why wouldnt you have a 4wd for hauling a boat?
Don't they sell sand bags down there ???
Why anyone would buy a two wheel drive truck is beyond me. The only thing they are good for is delivering girlscout cookies!😂
Someone shoulda just bounced on the bumper first power out
Just get a all wheel drive truck people
Should bought the whole truck....
4x4, buy one and avoid the hassles.
Is it illegal to use 4wd in Florida?
not if you have a permit
If you buy a big boat remember these three words: FOUR WHEEL DRIVE.
My fwd jetta pulls my boat ez
2 130s?
4wd
