    Ah... Ok... It has a very similar layout to the one in Cheyenne it appears... And I see fools parked like that there as well.

    The intakes are still above water by a long ways... Fire her up, lock the power divider, grab 3rd, hammer down right back the same way it went in.... And dont let out of it until she's out or buried.

    That river has a very nice cobble bottom, if he could keep momentum and traction up the bank he could drive right back out.

    Were it me I would at least try. I mean whats the guy got to loose??? If he gets it out he might still have a job at the end of the day.

    If he could get that truck out of there without a tow, he might have a better future as an excavator operator.

    I think it could be done... He rolled in backwards, and the bank is very low right there. The hardest part would be getting the steers up that first 3 feet to the water line, after that it becomes a momentum and traction issue.
