Yes, we had the same question when we first saw this video: what the heck was a semi-truck doing on the beach in the first place? Whatever the answer or reason, the truck was stuck in the sandy beach of South Padre Island in Texas. Amazingly, all it took was a decisive driver and a single Ford F-150 pickup truck.
The driver, nicknamed “Oscarcortez87”, wrote on YouTube:
“My 2011 Ford F150 5.0 helps this semi stuck in sand. Couple of trucks had tried but couldn’t do it. Red Ford up front quickly pops his rope so was of no help. Please excuse the drunken camera girl [you’ll hear her joyful screams at the end of the clip].”
You can watch the video below, but before you do, let us remind you one more time that, unlike the director-general in the Ford Explorer, you should always keep a safe distance from vehicles attempting to tow/pull another automobile, as there’s always the danger the straps may break off (see what could happen here).
