A tow truck driver, who is usually requested to trailer vehicles that break down or fish them off the side of the road, got a special request from a Ford F-250 owner.
Dustin is a tow truck driver who documents his day-to-day job on his YouTube channel.
He has also recovered vehicles that are stuck on the beach, in some ditch, crashed, or broken down.
However, this time he got a very different request from a Ford F-250 owner in Florida.

Tow truck driver gets a special Ford F-250 case
The owner of a Ford F-250 called Dustin as he had gotten his pickup truck stuck in his driveway.
But luckily the car was not damaged.
Now the challenge was how to move the F-250 without damaging the vehicle or the driveway.
Dustin decides to not use the winch as he thinks the Ford can come out of this predicament with its own power.
He used a jack to lift the pickup truck off the pavement.
After that, he also put blocks under the wheel to create a makeshift route for the pickup truck.
All-wheel drive to the rescue
The case is very similar to how a Rivian R1T EV truck was stuck in a ditch for months.
Fortunately, that was not the case with this Ford F-250.
Dustin also asked the owner to get back in the car, put it in all-wheel drive, and reverse.
He tried to guide him back to the pavement, but it wasn’t easy as the heavy pickup truck kept kicking down the blocks.
After putting the blocks back one by one to the right spot Dustin tells the owner to move backward until the truck is back on the driveway.
They were eventually able to get the Ford F-250 out of the ditch without damaging the car or the driveway.
