I have deliberately buried my F-150 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S rear tires in fresh farm mud--just about up to the rear axle. I used this mud pit once to test a 6000 pound cable puller (manually operated) + chains/straps/ropes.
I today tested the Portable Tow Truck pads. First time was very successful backing out--very nice. Second time a 6inch piece broke off the back end of one pad.
Mind you, I severely test every piece of camping/travel-related equipment I have bought over the years. I want it to work when it has to work in the wild. I gunned the truck very aggressively and it is no wonder the pad broke the second time--actually it got partially embedded in the tread and partially wrapped around (both times I tested these pads). I had to gun it to climp out of the 10inch deep ruts.
This product is excellent and most likely would not have broken in a real situation because I wouldn't have dug as deep before using the pads.
Good show.
