This RAM 3500 in Texas decided to go for a swim on a Brazoria County beach, but it didn’t go well.
As it turns out, RAM trucks aren’t good at swimming.
The truck was eventually rescued.
But now there’s another problem.

The main problem with this RAM 3500 in Texas
If you own a RAM 3500 in Texas, or anywhere else where there’s a beach, it might be a good idea to stay away from the sand and the water.
This guy in Brazoria County – not far from Houston – thought his truck could survive a swim, but it couldn’t.
The RAM 3500 is a great off-roader, and it has a lot of torque. But it’s also very heavy, and ocean water is unforgiving.
If it can carve rock, it can definitely take down a truck, which it did.
This truck had to be rescued by Towtruck Dustin, but that led to another problem. Because it’ll almost certainly be an insurance write-off.
As you can see from the picture above, the sand became very muddy near the water, and of course, in water, and nothing kills trucks faster than mud.
It’s like quicksand, and it’s absolutely guaranteed to get you stuck.
This is surprisingly common
There seems to be a recurring theme with trucks and beaches. Also lakes.
People love the thrill, and they like the idea of testing their vehicles’ off-roading abilities, but things can easily go wrong.
Even in seemingly shallow water, it can be a risky maneuver to attempt a water crossing – as this heavily modified truck found out.
The good news is there are exceptions.
A while back, a Cybertruck driver nonchalantly drove through deep water, and his only problem was that a jet-ski deliberately splashed them.
It must’ve been very annoying for the driver, but the truck was perfectly fine.
