Happened to me once at lake mead, saw a guy launching his 42 ft fountain by himself and offered a hand. all he asked was to back it down in a 3/4 ton Surburban. the weirdest sensation is when you have the brakes pressed hard near the floor and it keeps on going.

Sketchy! Did he say how he's gonna get it out?

The first first time I launched a big boy 30+ foot boat for a buddy, I couldn't even pull the empty trailer out of the water lol, had to do into 4-High. First time that happened opened my eyes

Thinking how small the tire's contact patches are.....it makes sense. I wonder if lowering the tire pressure would make enough of a difference??
