Recovering Jackknifed Semi-Trucks in an F-550 Black Edition

Bundle up! We head out into the elements today to recover stranded motorists during the worst snow storm Denver has seen in over 3 years. On our way into the mountains, we encountered a jackknifed semi-truck on the highway completely blocking both lanes.
Check out how flawlessly our 2023 F-550 Black Edition pulls this fully-loaded semi out, while that truck stays in neutral, and our Black Edition recovers the truck completely unassisted on a snowy, ice-covered road.
We stop to help a few more drivers stuck in the snow before packing up and heading back to the shop. Mission complete!
We build the most capable trucks on the planet.
Be sure to check out our merch shop and grab some gear!

This video is proof that some trucks sometimes need other bigger trucks too

[@elevationoffgrid]

Big trucks need big trucks too

[@andresvalenzuela6338]

Yeah, I need to get another job. I really want one!

[@chir0pter]

I love how all those cars are just flying past on the highway while something clearly irregular is happening in the right lane and conditions are treacherous

[@michaelhoskins832]

That's amazing, seeing your F-550 pull that semi up the hill.. like it weighed nothing.

[@abetheridge]

Whoa! Thats intense. This camera and editing work is some of the most professional I’ve seen! Good look for the brand!

[@LollyTheLocksmith]

Agreed!! this is AMAZING 🙌

[@elevationoffgrid]

Thank you sir!

[@aginkazbai4812]

These guys are beasts 💪🏽

[@MrJoelJr]

Best video you guys have posted so far

[@elevationoffgrid]

Thank you very much!

[@JK-tz6kk]

As a retired Fire Medic, I commend you for your service to your community. 👍 PS, I always see an optic green ARFF vehicle IFO your shop. Is that your shop truck, lol!? Hope to see it one day in-person when I place my name on the waitlist.

[@elevationoffgrid]

Ha! Something like that!

[@yamonkey98]

now lets see these truck head to the farm, hooked to some farm equipment. versatile in all fields

[@genekrause]

Kick ass!

[@akoglocko1]

Great job and vid🥃🥃

[@jeffwalther8794]

You guys are amazing! Incredible service to the motoring community in their time of need! What a great way to both take care of the community and showcase the best all around truck on the road!! Chief W from Scottsdale.

[@elevationoffgrid]

Thank you sir!

[@HH-ls3te]

dude that was awesome!

[@Sospechoso]

It's the best thing you guys have done, good video!

[@elevationoffgrid]

Thank you!

[@scotthooper4170]

Awesome trucks! Great work! Be safe out there pulling people out. God Bless you for that. Otherwise those folks will be out there for hours. When storms like that happen (once every hundred years or so) the Emergency Response System is so overwhelmed that even the best prepared Emergency Response Management Plans find the weaknesses unmanageable in a realistic timeframe. You just can’t account for everything.

[@elevationoffgrid]

Yessir!

[@joeySlimey]

That was the most badass truck I’ve ever seen

[@jimervin2472]

Making it Rain. EOG

[@The_Spec_Geek]

Love to see these trucks doing some good!

[@elevationoffgrid]

Thanks so much!

[@TimBiagi]

Awesome trucks

[@jarrettporst4799]

Add to cart... .. .

[@ClarkyMalarky]

I know 550 /5500 don’t make short boxes , but would be cool to see a short box one. Turning radius would be crazy and make an awesome tow vehicle.

[@I3eyond]

Business is going to boom even more after the people's see this!

[@petergrottendieck]

Craaazy!!! 💪🏻🔥 Are those the “standard” Black Edition tires?

[@elevationoffgrid]

Yessir! Goodyear G275 335/80R20

[@johnmusselman7284]

Absolute beasts!!!

[@jeremiahgranger306]

Beautiful ❤

[@rusbelgonzalez3181]

So badass

[@joz_tec]

Great video!

[@elevationoffgrid]

Thank you sir!

[@JavierBlanchardBJJ]

Take my money now

[@cire06.]

i know it snowed a lot here in Denver but honestly i didn't think it was all bad. It was wet mushy snow but other than that i had no issues getting around

[@michaelbond569]

Can y'all customize vehicles people already own, or do we need to order directly from you? My f150 needs some aftermarket stuff lol

[@elevationoffgrid]

We have an F-350 Black Edition package for 2023+ F-350s, and we also build on the F-550 and RAM 5500 platforms. New vehicles; we can order from our dealer network or you can bring your new 350/550/5500 to us to build.

[@scotthooper4170]

@@elevationoffgridAwesome! That is great information! Thank you EOG!

[@ruigomes6778]

I wish I had the money for that 550 toy.

[@weedie82]

Exactly. A toy.
Beautiful vehicle. But my 13k lb 99 2wd 7.3 TDI PSD 6 spd can pull the same truck out of the same situation.
Just saying. These jokers think they're truck are huge. Great to help out, I commend u for that. But leave the "recovery" or "tug" if u will to the people who've paid the 500k plus for their heavy recovery rigs that actually have a clue as to what they're doing....
As a repair shop and someone who has recovered heavy trucks for a living.
IMO, this is just trying to get views for some lame brain on you tube cause he's got a flashy rig..

[@duane9707]

Great vid.
Curious, are the differentials limited slip, lockers, air lockers..?

[@elevationoffgrid]

No lockers. LSD

[@edwinyazzie9388]

Bad AZ

[@BORIKKEN]

#FOMOCO #SUPERDUTY

[@michaelfrangoudakis823]

What gears and lockers are you running in these trucks? Any upgrades for the brakes?

[@elevationoffgrid]

4.3 gears, LSD - no locking diffs. OEM brakes; the F-550 platform has much larger upgraded brakes already.

[@sonitx]

What wheels are those?

[@rcallen96]

Need a better recovery rope.

[@elevationoffgrid]

Kinetic ropes are great. Simple tow strap was enough for this
