Dang that sucker sunk fast.

It had to still be in reverse.

I thought slick moss on the ramp.

Should have got the snorkel.

how exactly do you suppose that happened - somebody get out of the truck and left it in neutral?

Some ramps have a lot of algae growth and slicker than snot. You can put your truck in park and it will still slide. Inks lake old ramp would get bad during the warmer months. Calavaras and Bruaning claim a few trucks every year.

Might as well go fishing! Maybe need another 12 pack or 2!

So……General Motors products don’t float ? I guess it’s only the drivers who are full of……hot air.

I'm guessing algae on ramp and couldn't get traction. I have had it happen, but usually throw it in 4WD and pull right out

I saw that happen once and it was because the boat ramp had a thick layer of algae on it and the water was low exposing the algae. When they started unloading the boat and made the truck kinda move gravity took it course and the truck just slid back in the water. Wish I would have had a phone back then to record the look on there face.

As quick as that mirror disappeared with the door open and nobody swimming out I say neutral or reverse. **** that would make your stomach hurt.
I have seen some expensive SUVs and trucks do the same at Ray Hubbard.

Driver error is what I'm guessing.

One reason why I put it in 4wd when launching. That way, of your rear tires are on slick algae when stopped, the front tires won't just roll and are locked in park as well.

It’s always amazed me what guys will spend to have a four-wheel-drive truck, with 37 inch mud tires, just to smoke up a slick boat ramp with one back tire boiling.

Front wheels are turning as it goes down?
