Kids doing kids things. Spring in the mountains= mud pools in low lying areas.

How did you get your R1T to make that low ICE idling sound?

A R1T on it's worst day is still better than a Cybertruck on it's best day...

Converted to a V8

A lot of missing information.
What tires?
Were they aired down?
Did the driver sweep front wheels side to side while in crawl mode to reverse out?
Were there traction recovery boards used?

Or did ol boy just YOLO it and keep the pedal to the floor until the truck was high centered on OEM scorpions (that are pretty garbage offroad) that weren't aired down?

Context matters.

That said, sometimes you have a little fun and get a little stuck. Nothing super wrong with that either. It's a 7,000+lb vehicle and that looks (from afar) like some pretty soft mud.

It was a pool of mud about a foot deep. Kid slid in it and got stuck. Had folks winch us out

Tires aired down? What tires? Any boards? Seems like a situation you might have been able to do a self rescue or prevented. Just stuff to know for all of us to learn from.

Got Toyo AT tires but weren't aired down . Didn't matter. It was deep and slick and nothing would have changed the outcome. Lesson is: don't drive your 7000# rig in a pool of slick mud.
