I observed this firsthand in Florida. A guy with a diesel dually 4WD truck is trying to pull his boat and trailer out at Miami Marine Stadium. He backs in too far and drops off the ramp. His solution, given the traction and torque of his tow vehicle, is to drop the transfer case to 4 low, back up a couple more feet, and give it a good rush. The trailer comes out, finally, but without its axles.

I read this on a forum. Wife is attempting to back the trailer down the ramp to load the boat while husband is in the boat, yelling at wife's unsuccessful attempts to get it straight. Husband's volume increases as name calling begins. Eventually wife stops, looks at him with a cold gaze, puts the vehicle in forward and drives away (home?) leaving husband to float alone, wondering what to do.
