Rental BMW In The Middle Of Nowhere

We got a call from Canyonlands National Park about a BMW X7 that was stuck on the far side of the White Rim Trail at Hardscrabble Campground. We heard it had a flat tire and needed to be trailered out of there. With the river running high meant that the low areas before there would be flooded. So we took the whole fleet in to make sure we had our bases covered. We hauled the trailer in with Ol Blue to get the vehicle loaded. Then on the way out we got stuck in the sand and needed Big D to pull it out. It all went fairly smooth considering the remoteness of where it was we wanted to make sure we had more than we needed. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Why is there only one option for the like button? There are so many moments in this video where I needed to double up on the likes. Mike on the trailer doing what we all wish we could do. Rory dropping words of wisdom about having the tools you need rather than wishing you did. Shawn (Shaun or Sean-sp??) doing the merch push in the funniest way possible.

[@scuss2]

I think that 5 "Star buttons" for up or down would be better. Then a (+) button at the end of the 5 stars. The Trolls get a 5 star down with an added (-) button. But Dayum it, Trailmater, Dirt Billy Deluxe and the Mike, Shawn, and Justin Show, well there ain't 'nuff stars in the plus direction.

Better to have extra vehicles than extra people that don't know what to do. I appreciate the fact that you are always prepared instead of making excuses. Plus you do preventive maintenance as needed. Watching you talk at the end really struck me how far you have come being on camera. Keep up the good work with a great crew. Individual you are good, as a group you are fantastic. You make each other better.

[@Knightraven000]

[@jeefcake9269]

The tire on the BMW is most likely a run flat tire, technically flat, but usable at low speeds

[@JohnShalamskas]

Nahh, Rory can appreciate fine German engineering just as much as the next guy. But offroad is not the place for BMW or Porsche.

[@57WillysCJ]

I remember 25 years ago trying to buy LT tires for a Ford Ranger. First of course they thought you didn't know what you wanted then came no one uses them. Finally after getting the manager they ordered them. It was the same for Jeeps. Everyone wanted car tires for a smooth ride or over sized ones. Always had to look for LTs. Thin cars sidewalls do not hold up to rocks cutting the sidewalls anywhere. In the southwest not long at all.

My roommate hates it. She calls her SUV a truck because it has 4WD. I told her that unless it has a frame and a low range, it is a station wagon. It drives her crazy.

[@user-le2tp6vr9t]

Totally agree with standard trans. Mine all range from 40-75 years old. Work trucks and 4x4's. Multiple owners before me didn't take care of them. Still going strong. Show me an auto that can do that.

Been on the White Rim loop many times; even crossed through some slight water on the W side once. You gentleman are effective, impressive & artful with your effort & work. The trifecta of vehicles, making it happen & pulling up that trailer with the BMW on it - wrong choice for that driver, clearance & tires. Oh well, you made it happen & got the vehicle out, and didn't heat up (too much). All three of you deserve a big compliment. Thanks for the interesting video.

[@michaelstevens7312]
