New Toyota 4Runner in a Ditch

[progress4m]

Not often you see 4Runner being recovered by Matt’s Towing:

BTW: “Matt's Off Road Recovery” has many pretty cool videos… and of course Matt’s demeanor and work ethics are amazing!

Of the 5 or so videos I've watched of theirs, 2 were 4Runner recoveries.

I wouldn’t have gone though that area stock, especially with those terra grapplers.

Would crawl control get him unstuck?

He has a couple 4Runner and Tacoma videos.

The best recovery is the XJ that fell into a sink hole.

Love watching his channel. Almost 100% of the recoveries are due to driver error.

That XJ was insane. My favorite was the Prius who somehow got WAY far down the wrong trail and got absolutely ruined even before Matt got there to try to get it out.

The range rover recovery was the funniest but his channel is just great. There was another 4Runner that got stuck on a log a while back and the driver took it offroading with a broken arm or something.

Pulled out by a tow ball? Or is that modified in some way?

I saw this and winced at the thought of a 55k truck teetering like this.

How much would it cost for a recovery like that ?

It's very situational, depends on how far they had to drive and how long the recovery took. For something like this i'd assume ~$150 as that's seems to be Matt's hourly rate.

In one of Matts videos' he explained why he uses the 3 ball receiver. It distributes the force over 3 balls and is very strong. He always has it because sometimes he has to recover trailers and will always have the proper ball size.

He obviously knows what he's doing. Just know I've watched the Ronnie dahl videos and he's not a fan.

Here are couple more videos that I like, absolutely great execution and as always Matt's demeanor, ability to stay together and calm are at its best!

X2 on that!
After watching many of Matt's videos there is no doubt: he absolutely knows what he's doing!

Yup, and also those are welded balls, instead of the typical bolt-on balls.

I like his videos, he even has a crusty old guy Ed come along on his recoveries.
