Ford Raptor Out Of It’s Element

Come along with us as we complete two rescues!
The first one was a jeep liberty that lost its transmission on the Toquerville Falls Road. The road to Toquerville falls is very rough with a lot of elevation change. We found the customer about halfway to the falls and we were able to get them pulled up to a point where they were able to coast about half way out.
Sorry about the brakes on my jeep squeaking, the pads were wore down to a nub.
The next rescue was a 2018 Ford raptor that had got stuck in the sand dunes.
We had to be careful not to do damage to the raptor on the rocks that were near the right side running board.
Unfortunately, we had some camera storage problems and we missed the most important piece of footage. Sorry about that, we are working on the problem.

I can't imagine living in such a beautiful area to go wheelin in, AND getting paid to for it. Thats how ya do it....

[@bigjay6743]

You got that right some people have all the luck.

[@brandenwaltz9879]

Where was that raptor stuck? That was one pretty view of that lake

[@bhdwade128]

Sand Hollow reservoir

[@JasonAl]

Definitely:)

[@robertottwell605]

It’s not that glamorous, towing and storage is 24/7.

[@kurtricheson4803]

"That shortcut probably added a minute." Sounds like the kind of shortcut I like! 😀

[@lewisrohrer884]

Matt How many axels do you throw in a years time ?

[@skrue68]

Those shortcuts are the best 😉

[@RetSol61]

Shortcut = The Longest Distance Between 2 Points!

[@MsPokemonsoulsilver]

@@lewisrohrer884 with no traction on sand you don't brake axles you just spin tires. i would guess it would be an average of less then one every 3 years.

[@pjford1118]

Sounds like what I call a funcut

[@suckysucky787]

Amazing driver. Just gets the job done. In reality, Matt could be a therapist. Calm, measured cadence to his voice. No panic, just gets it done. Bravo sir!!

[@jeeperalainbigal]

C'est tout à fait vrai, bravo pour cet homme !

[@antoniorobles3498]

FACTS !!!!! CALM, PROFESSIONAL ALMOST DAMN THERAPEUTIC !!!!!!........ ALL TOW DRIVERS NEED A LESSON FROM THIS MAN.

[@Aheitchoo]

And no judgement or shame ever. Such a cool guy.

[@robinarnold9857]

Your unscripted remarks are what make the show for me. Always positive and kind, perfect.

[@colintrout1095]

The sound of a high rpm 4.0 never gets old

[@aerythus]

It's a satisfying flex ;P

[@Equinox121]

Its crazy coming back to watch these videos from a while back and seeing how much farther your channel has come since. Good work Matt

[@bryanlenihan5012]

Yep it's crazy to see the banana so "stock"

[@hwalton211]

I drove an 18 wheeler for 12 years, and I find your channel to be good entertainment. I also watch plaza towing, the guy who gets big trucks unstuck and turned back over with the rubber side facing the ground again. I enjoy your channel as much as I do his. Good work and hope you keep making vidoes. That is one amazing Jeep Cherokee and I like what you did to it to make it useful for getting people unstuck. I hope some day I can come viist the area, but I will not be going off road, that's for sure.

[@vinhky657]

i honestly enjoy your lack of "ad lib" and the lack of "if you like this video please "smash" the subscribe button and like" that every video puts out there. You speak when there's something to say otherwise... i enjoy the heck out of just the sounds of the jeep, clanking of hooking up the tow straps and quietness of where you guys are at. So many videos "this.. is a tire, this is a wheel and it's round because...." We have eyeballs! You're doing great and the channel is doing great because of the authenticity and sincerity, so don't ever think you need to "add more" of anything. I like when you add your .02 cents and when it's time to work and for us to simply observe.

[@trutheye1]

No ad libbing necessary. People love your videos just because you’re being yourself and doing what you do!

[@glennzlotowski8020]

U should have a two way radio for u and the client when towing. Excellent job , alot of us would love this and the scenery

[@francoisl7663]

lol!! I just posted this as well and then saw your comment

[@BjornNatan]

@Ryan Johnson the client needs to pay at some point. Take the radio back then.

[@williswhatchutalkinbout4367]

Ryan Johnson does he leave his yank rope with them? At some point ya gotta start remembering shit....

[@TucsonDude]

Nah. He'd be replacing radios on a regular basis.

[@malibudolphin3109]

NOT having a script, the silence and scenic views IS your Super Power Matt !

[@beverlyjohnson2266]

You guys don't need a script! Just be you, you're real. You're not a fake used car sales person. It's great! It's why I watch. Thanks a lot for letting me ride along.

[@emmaduncan3077]

Best offroad recovery channel on youtube so raw and real keep it up Matt u rock

[@ncsaddlehunter77]

Matt and his wife are always great together in these videos. They are a great example of a couple that love and respect each other very much. It is especially touching to see how proud Matt is of her when she drives. And she can drive anything anywhere Matt and Rudy can from what I have seen. Great content.

[@Vorgto]

I love that someone will see a road like this in their van, say fuck it, and still attempt it. Amazing.

[@davedennis6042]

The Odyssey story was amazing. You will never be outta work, Matt.

[@bobvincent4841]

She did fine job running the camera. Never gets old watching these videos.

[@1966johnnywayne]

No, you don't need a script...you're honest, down to earth approachable style is what draws in viewers.

[@s_android]

I've watched hundreds of rock crawling videos with guys who might be considered professional rock crawlers... ...and they struggle with some of this same terrain. Then I watch this tow truck guy and he masters it with finesse. He makes it look easy. Also, NO script needed, Matt. We love 'em just the way they are.

[@Vulcancruiser]

I look at the crazy places these maniacs end up on and can barely believe my eyes. Matt is a real saint for not laughing hysterically and taking off. Hats off to him for undoing all the junk..........

[@hamyncheese]

Matt, you come across as a man of great character. You don't need a script, just be the excellent human being that you are.

[@kylebradley7751]

One thing I’ve noticed after watching a lot of these videos. There’s always a good looking girl at the front booth of these parks

[@williswhatchutalkinbout4367]

And he gets waved on in for free!

[@DocEnnik]

I appreciate the video feed right from the passenger seat just as much as the outside because then I feel like I'm part of the recovery

[@G31mR]

At 2:40....what a beautiful shot!!! That's part of what I like about your 'episodes'; there's more to enjoy than the recovery.

[@davidr.4699]

As others have said, no script! Your videos are great the way they are, no music. Just the natural sounds, you guys talking, the jeep sounds, easy and laid back.

[@imthejaybird]

“He’s gonna have a hard time getting up here...” *Matt proceeds to effortlessly crab walk Jeep up on the rocks in one shot*

[@eduardocortez6803]

Wow I can't believe we come this far. Watching this old early channel video was a big difference then the current ones with Lizzy and Trevor.

[@kevinthompson629]

Matt is incredibly patient and calm. The zen of off road rescue. Lol

[@wesoblander3648]

I hadn't thought of it before now, but you probably do burn up brake pads no matter what brand you throw at it :)

[@Jaxon1127]

Matt’s off-road recover replacing the news since 2020

[@scubbarookie]

Matt has such a great personality, and attitude that he doesn't need a script! These situations happen the way they do in real life; and to interfere with them with a script, would ruin the raw and real approach. Please don't script these videos! 👍

[@DroneLearner]

Hi Matt, you have provided me with more views of your beautiful country than any other media. Thank you.

[@GhostDrummer]

The more I watch these recoveries, the more I’m loving Ed!!!!

[@williamj.barnhartjr.3108]

I really liked the short cut looked like fun. Great video, you have a great job with all the beautiful sights you get to see daily. Thank you for sharing , God Bless you and your family.

[@robertashbrook3157]

what whatever you do Matt don't get a script. Just ran across your Channel and I enjoyed a lot. Don't change a thing. Thanks and be safe.

[@jeffwilliams9086]

Matt, no need to ad lib, that’s what I like about you so much, you are authentic, and genuine...and competent. I do understand the perceived felling of needing to but it’s not necessary. There’s no need for you to be anything but you...that’s why I like you so much and I’m sure many others do as well.

[@MrKittu171]

Sir what you do on a daily basis would be a dream job for many. ☺. You got amazing driving skills!

[@DustyEmma]

13:27 about the most amazing bit of driving I have ever seen.. The guy truly knows how to use his vehicle... Wonderful

[@edvanek8244]

I was born and raised in Montana. Guided elk, deer, moose, sheep, goat, bear, and antelope hunts for 40 plus years. We have some beautiful country. But I believe Utah is the most beautiful country I've seen. I enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@CCDzine]

Ha! Reminds me of the old Colt 45 commercials with Redd Foxx delivering beer overland. They ended with him saying "Sorry I'm late. I took the shortcut."

[@peanut71968]

It is really fun watching this Jeep traverse these rough trails!

[@urs7288]

You don't need a script - you're a natural! Congrats, great stuff!

[@SirMo]

I've been around professional drivers most of my life, and seen some good ones. Matt is definitely as skilled as they come.

[@supra1jzed]

That Jeep is just something else. Like a Mule...just keeps going, steady, rock solid...but a Horse too, that can haul ass on the sand when it needs to. Great well rounded set up.

[@waylander2]

Raptor boy should get his Rebel buddies to pull him out.

[@psychology2217]

Sand is no joke. I’ve had a couple of “run-ins” with sand while off roading and it always resulted in being horribly stuck, lots of digging, heat stroke, stress, and anger. Thank goodness for your towing. I always avoid sand now.

[@mikebythesea45]

Sand = air down!

[@johnnytorres277]

Not even. You just have to know what you're doing. Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWrQnpSge9KJmcU

[@zimtuff]

You need air down gauges, a good compressor and some plastic planks for putting under the tyres. Doesn't anyone hi lift jacks in the US?

[@chloequattlebaum997]

Damn skippy

[@godngunclinger]

I LIKE JAMIE'S CAMERA WORK she does a little panorama every now and again 👀👍

[@quesoblanco5586]

For as much bending and stooping over Matt has relatively zero to no crack exposure. Props. 😄

[@rowan8877]

The way you handle that beast is amazing!

[@yaoxiong]

When you don't have anything to say, just point the camera at the scenery. No need for anything else.

[@marcosplays7270]

Matt's Towing & Recovery ignore him

[@yaoxiong]

@@marcosplays7270 I guess this is the world we live in nowadays. A world quick to respond without understanding, quick to see ill intent when there was none. 34 out of 35 people knew that my comment was regarding this part of the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnSwXph4nqp2bKs

No honestly, u dont need to change to much. The channel is enjoyable the way it is! Any changes can be improvements but none are needed

[@kennethmraz8396]

Beautiful beautiful country no need to watch Matt all the time he knows how to get the job done hats off to Matt,,I would like to see his other part of the business to make the road work I like to see some of that and would be nice breaking up a little bit

[@area49g12]

Don't worry about ad libbing, what makes your channel great is that it's not scripted but on the fly which is great. Kudos. ;-)

[@bripslag]

Longtime subscriber here...it's great going back and watching some of these earlier videos and seeing how much you have learned and how much more comfortable you've become on-camera. 👍

[@dabh4204]

Off roading in a sick jeep and getting paid for it? Sounds like a dream come true to me

[@scottrtomlinson]

It's a shame that Chrysler did to the Cherokee Sport/XJ line... essentially cancelling it and replacing it with those POS Liberty's. Took one of the most successful 4x4 vehicles and replaced it with a Fisher Price.

[@timothyadams4477]

The 4 door jk is what I consider to be its replacement. The old Cherokee was nice off road, but you wouldn't want to get into an accident in one.

[@sheltonsingletary2488]

If you listened to what Matt said at the beginning of the video. Liberty was having transmission trouble. I own a liberty and it is a good Jeep. An yes it is a jeep. 189 thousand miles and it still runs, drives, and rides good.

[@markrutherford9363]

@@sheltonsingletary2488 I am at 240k on my 06 Liberty. Original trans and motor. It's a pretty good Jeep with a few aftermarket upgrades.

[@bobquattrini1787]

My 99 Xj has almost 400,000 Mile's and is just like New...Even has the original head gasket and cat.....A real Beast

[@sambrandt4755]

The liberty would be way better if it had a solid front axle and a better transmission. I have a built second gen and it's cost well over twice what it would have cost if i built a wrangler or an xj... It's awesome now but if I'd known how expensive it'd be i would have bought a wrangler.

[@tomandalbert]

I am amazed how well you and your extended family film your Off Road Recoveries. In 72 in the Coast Guard I went from an IH Scout to 6cylander Jeep and had 14,000 miles on logging and cat roads in Mendocino County with a winch choker chain, snatch block and ingenuity to save my ass. You'll have a wealth of memories in KZbin channel videos to look back on. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@mikesmith-wk7vy]

this shows you just how much skill and experience matter in off-road situations . I've never seen a raptor get stuck but , all the off road toys don't necessarily guarantee easy trips. the clients often have better trucks than him but he knows what he is doing more. the vintage jeep pulls out the 75 thousand dollar truck

[@TheDude_Abides_]

It wouldn't be a Jeep if the check engine light wasn't on. lmao @2:39

[@danimal865]

Its funny cause everyone says that, and ive had a 95 wrangler, a 95 Cherokee and 2 1999 cherokees and never once had a check engine light unless it broke down. I fixed what ever it was and it went away. Lol

[@rkj4107]

His sticker fell off

[@darwinbarrett86]

Matt, I love your videos. Your activities, family, friends, employees and geographic area are all interesting and it is a real treat to tag along and experience it all through the magic of KZbin. Your successes are wonderful , of course, but the problems you encounter and how you deal with them are interesting and you are definitely a good role model. I have watched most of your videos and get all excited when I find one I haven’t seen yet. BTW, I am an “Ed” type person, although a few years younger.

[@swkynard]

you sure do a nice job on recovery of all sorts of vehicles, I own a Raptor and have got it stuck. Nice video too.

I wondered if I was the only one 😂

[@jcarry5214]

I drive an xterra and some of the other Nissan fanboys keep trying to make that a thing, waving at all the other Nissans. It's like yes, I like them but we are not a club like jeeps are. Some high schooler down the road keeps trying to make it happen and I'm like Nope, you got more money in your mods and car washes than I do in my whole truck, we are not the same.

[@codyp8214]

Good work Ed! You’re keepin everything together!

[@iaahner]

This entire channel is just a giant XJ commercial. I love it. Also mildly infuriating, 90% of the stuck vehicles he sees could be unstuck with a shovel, airing down, and being a decent driver. People are dumb. Keep up the amazing content. Love it!

[@tonyz97]

With all the work he's done to it.... far from a typical XJ

[@jeremyspecce]

I agree except I bet the hills are a lot steeper than they appear on video sometimes, it never translates, when I used to have a Jeep I'd take pictures and videos and try to show people like "dude, I was sure we were gonna roll over backwards!" And the picture just made it look like a gentle hill.

[@michaelangelos5117]

It's good to watch your channel grow and your business grow and then come back and watch some of your earlier videos.

No need for a script. Just be you. That’s the key.

[@clivehorridge]

Exactly, your videos are popular because there’s no script. It’s real, not Hollywood.👍🏻🇷🇴🇬🇧

Hey Matt- You be you and if you get tongue tied let Ed do the ad libbing. For sure we'll know what the current weather and temperature is and that you will get it done. Great channel.

[@Jrryclmnjc]

You don’t need a script. People like you and this channel just the way it is. I think the fact that you’re down home and easy going is what makes it appealing with those little gems like “well, that shortcut added about a minute”. Hilarious. I like the speeded up video with the great music when you have a long destination also.

Erm! Forget the script. Keep it raw and natural. Thats what makes the video more attractive. Also the little stories along the way, like driving a Camry up that track??? Thats a wow! I'm sure your rescues are always interesting with jobs and people.

[@briananderson7008]

Really liked the Raptor video If You Could Only tell how steep that hill was. Amazing recovery.

[@sergiodjf]

Those old Jeeps were bulletproof. 💪Today’s Jeeps are toys that always break down. You don’t need to be talking all the time, you’re doing a good job at describing the rescue missions. Scenery & footage are awesome! I don’t get to go off-road, so those videos are very impressive! 💯

[@FordManiac76]

Most people don’t know that in a Ford to turn the traction control completely off you have to hold the button for 5 seconds. As well he should have his tires aired down to 10 psi for sand. I’ve taken my 1 ton Ford crew cab long box - stock tire tow rig - out on the dunes a few times( broken toy recovery couple times and once to take a bunch of people to the top for fireworks on the 4th) and I hand no problems at all with tires at 10 psi - including high marking some 500ft tall dunes. People thought I was nuts including my wife.

[@egSmith-sp9gl]

You're the definition of traction !!!!

[@ScottsGEN-XAdventures]

Always looking forward to your next video!

[@drugtalk101]

Your videos are great! NO SCRIPT! It’s better raw and un cut! Thanks for the videos I like your tips! Just finished my first Jeep 4x4 camping trip with my daughter!

[@TheRumbles13]

Most of the really legendary engines are between 3-4L inline 6, the 4.0 in the jeep is no exception! Burns fuel leaks oil but just keeps going 👌 I believe the 4.0 was an AMC product?

Matt you have the best job ever, not only do you get to go wheeling all the time but you get to help people.

[@kimscott7091]

Had an old Jeep Grand Cherokee that was much more suited to the rough and deep stuff. Have some fond memories of it driving through snow up to the windows , or being the only vehicle moving on the road in a blizzard. Like how it powered up out the ditch after Lana did the only 720 of my life and put us there. I knew she was going to fast but husbands can’t say that. As it was spinning I was thinking we were going to flip but vehicle stayed smoothly upright. Different story with old Ford Explorer I had- R.I.P..
