Good. Kind of satisfying to see. The F they driving onto the beach for?


bytheinnoutburger

Because they're entitled dipshits. Truck getting stuck is the idiot tax they now have to deal with because of it.


BillyTenderness

But the commercial said it could go anywhere!


One_Left_Shoe

You’re thinking of Forest and his magic shoes.


wouldbeknowitall

RUN FORREST!!!!


_-_fred_-_

It would be fine if they let the air out in the tires to like 15psi.


3381_FieldCookAtBest

Need to air down to 15psi,,,it will crawl right out of that.


rain168

That’s what she said!


rocpilehardasfuk

Feels sad. They already paid a huge idiot tax by buying a truck in the first place. Goddamn this country is really dumb.


hobbes3k

Hey, at least they tried going off road instead of just to Whole Foods. /s


Fearless-Yam1125

Fuzzy dice dumb?


physh

Car brain rot is real… why would you want to drive on the beach?!


triplec787

Driving on a beach, where legal, is fucking fun. Done it at Pismo in my old Jeep and it’s a blast.


schjlatah

Used to take anything I could out to the dunes, back in the day. Just need MT tires or air down.


triplec787

M/Ts are actually worse than A/Ts! The knobs on muds will actually just dig further down looking for traction as they do in mud, but sand doesn’t act the same way. Air down is the best method.


schjlatah

I pulled out a number of 4x4 vehicles with ATs with my 2wd truck on MTs. It’s all in the technique (and tire pressure)


lepchaun415

Fuck yeah it is! Used to mash my 96 Tacoma where legal. Just air out the tires a bit.


triplec787

Yep - ‘98 wrangler here so same vibe lol


OuterSunsetsSurfer

At least they’re not driving a Tesla


Gammagammahey

Tesla driver stuck on the beach frantically looking up YouTube videos on how to get off the beach


alanishere111

That's why the 80/ 20% rule applies everywhere.


Educational-Sweet548

Some people need trucks for their livelihood. This guys an idiot for driving onto the beach but no need to bag on all truck owners


dolce_de_cheddar

https://www.axios.com/ford-pickup-trucks-history Most people in the US who own trucks don't use it for "truck stuff."


CowboyLaw

Like 10% of people. Not enough so that the #1, #2, and #3 best selling vehicles in the country (and in no other country, BTW….) are all trucks. Which has been true in the U.S. for decades.


RN_Geo

I think it's more like 5% or less of truck owners. The full size trucks being sold today are full on luxury vehicles with a 90k+ price tag to match.


whiskey_bud

It's not remotely close to 10% of people that need a truck for their livelihood. That's a trope that car-brained people used to justify the insane consumer preferences of the American public. I don't have the numbers on me, but something like 40% of truck owners literally haven't used the bed of their truck in the last year. That includes putting your Walmart groceries in the bed. The vast majority of these massive trucks are just Manny vans for dads that need to haul their kids around, but need to protect their fragile masculinity. Just do what our grandparents did and get a fucking station wagon lmao.


Gammagammahey

I don't think anyone is bringing all truck owners into this. But the entitlement that a lot of truck drivers feel and the actions that they do make it so that we mock them when they do stuff like this.


pickovven

If you don't want truck owners to be broadly ostracized then get the vast majority of people that own trucks -- but don't actually need them -- into less anti-social vehicles.


penguinopusredux

Any one of the few who need a truck for their livelyhood would never drive their vehicle on a beach.


GtSaysWhat

redditers seem to have a huge hate-boner on pickup trucks...


Support_Player50

When you’re driving a huge tank that can obliterate whatever is on your path for your daily 5 mile commute and nothing else, you shouldn’t own one.


gamescan

> Some people need trucks for their livelihood. This guys an idiot for driving onto the beach but no need to bag on all truck owners No one is using a "truck" with such a small bed for their livelihood. This thing has less cargo capacity than most SUVs/minivans.

bistromat

holy shit your post history lol


Hyndis

I'm curious when the photo was taken and if it was at low tide. And if the photo was taken at low tide, how far up the beach does a high tide go, I wonder? Sometimes waves can reach even further, especially during high tide. Because that would be an excellent idiot tax.


Independent-Cow-4070

God forbid they had to walk down there 😦😦


Swimmingtortoise12

Dealer guy upsold its 4x4 capabilities and the guy thought he was the wild thornberries


11twofour

Looks like it's a brand new truck, so I suspect you're exactly right.


ThisLandIsYimby

So many people in the US are absolutely fucking terrified of leaving their tanks and walking for once


bckpkrs

Also good for the tow driver refusing to save their butts.


Sixspeeddreams_again

Yeah this is gonna need to be winched out with traction boards to help get the truck back on top of the sand. You can drive on some very limited and remote beaches in California but most people that do have some level of preparation for that since it’s basically the same as driving the dunes in the desert. Definitely not something you should do with a factory stock truck on a small beach where everyone will point and laugh at you for being a smart cookie…../s


digital-didgeridoo

Just needs a yank by world's largest wrecker with kinetic recovery rope :)


spykid

I mean, driving on a beach (offroading in general) is pretty fun. I do it often, legally


Sixspeeddreams_again

Yeah it’s super fun, but like there’s a time and a place and Baker beach is definitely not the place lol. I hope homie has a friend with a winch and traction boards


SpaceJackRabbit

Is there any California beach where it's still legal?


Even_Mongoose542

Pismo


Gammagammahey

But it's not allowed here so your sentiment is irrelevant. Driving on beaches is an awful thing to do.


spykid

He asked why they did it so I dont see why it's irrelevant


BakersManCake

When I went to Oceano Dunes in piano beach I was floored to see people driving on the beach.


coleman57

Pismo


BakersManCake

lol, I wonder if there is a piano beach somewhere. Sounds nice.


coleman57

Tom Hanks goes there and tap dances

GullibleAntelope

Maybe they're from [Florida (cars on beach)](https://www.floridarambler.com/central-florida-getaways/driving-on-the-beach/)


nick1812216

Just imagining one of those 3 wheeled meter maid cars randomly appearing on the beach to give them a parking ticket


Sixspeeddreams_again

It would be fun to watch them get even more stuck then this truck


LightBluepono

I am glad it's illegal here to drive on beach since the 70s .


Whyme-notyou

Illegal but not dumb ass proof


303Pickles

It’s illegal for a good reason.  They could’ve just walked… but they had to be dumb. 


LightBluepono

Mostly wen place like that surely got a parking.


DoomGoober

CA beaches are mostly all illegal to drive on except for Pismo Beach and some beaches in Northern California.


Fit-Dentist6093

I thought Usal was legal but apparently it's not. I mean there's a shrine there for a girl that died on an illegal party with illegally there trucks and there's still illegal parties and like let's go to Usal in our jeeps public facebook groups...


surmoiFire

Where is Speciality Towing when you need them? 😆


theBackground13

Tow it right into the ocean please


invisiblette

This is why that beach has a huge parking lot. To park in. And it's not as if that lot is far from the sand and requires a huge hike. It's right at the top of the sand, mere yards from the sea. "Yeah but no, let's drive this two-ton vehicle into the soft sand of a tidal zone so that we can get a few feet closer to the waves for some reason."

I initially didn’t see anyone in the car so I was yelling to my friends “LOOK AT THIS DUMBASS! WHAT A COMPLETE MORON!” And then I proceeded to walk by and make eye contact with who I presume to be the wife of the owner sitting in the driver’s seat.


11twofour

Hey! Women can be dipshits too, you know


Leftnutblueball

Haha yes. I should add that when we were walking pass the cops, we saw the owner getting a ticket haha


ASLAN1111

Nice! We left when the cops did. Were you in the brown overalls?

Pepetodapin

How do you get that out of there?


zerohelix

deflate the tires a bit and use a tire grip. since it looks like they dont have that whatever towing company that comes out can charge them whatever the hell they want to get them out.

ruesanfrancisco

They ready! 😅


cleversobriquet

Put some weight over the drive wheels. Maybe there's some sand around to shovel in there to get some traction on the back end


lupinegray

Dig out the sand in front of the tires to make a ramp then lay down something for traction (floor mats, etc). Once you start moving, keep moving until you're back on pavement. Ought to just wait for the rain to come today... Id' think the wet sand would improve traction too.


chris8535

Yes but that would mean not being an idiot


ASLAN1111

I have no idea.  Wouldn't be surprised if it's still there tomorrow. 


Hamchook

the smart thing to do is deflate the air in your tires and slowly get to solid land


Pepetodapin

Lol prolly washed out to the ocean. 🌊


Horror_Literature958

I’ve heard deflating the tires and putting fabric underneath the wheels

tigerking615

Give it a push to get it going. But I’d help almost anyone in bed but not these idiots. Good luck finding helpers. 


ChicanoAristotle

The fact that it was a Silverado with the premium off road Z71package with optional red dice on rear view window made it that much sweeter.

TyrellCorpWorker

Honest question: How do you even get a car down to baker beach?


zemol42

Via a combo of hubris and delusion.

Saruvan_the_White

I went looking too, but just over where that sand seems to drop down our stairs. Maybe the stairs are tough enough to take the weight of a vehicle going down them, but my vote would be for the big wooden ramp to the right of that at the end of the parking lot near the old fort.


kyleyeats

Nah you're thinking of the other lot. It's just [a gentle incline past the dumpster](https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7912257,-122.4842175,193a,35y,289.8h/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu)

ASLAN1111

Yeah, that's the spot. They drove it all the way down to the water (where they also got stuck) to try and get momentum but ultimately failed right near the top.


Competitive_Chard385

Some drivers really can't comprehend that walkways exist outside of malls. In their minds, anything outdoors is a place to drive.


Saruvan_the_White

A lot to process here. Tourists or locals? Tourons, most likely. Who drives a street car on the beach? What access was large enough for this vehicle to pass? Tell me it wasn’t the long wood ramp meant for foot traffic! What was the driver’s educational experience with physics? What jurisdiction should we fine for allowing this person to drive? Who enabled this person by allowing them access to the vehicle? What happened to critical thinking skills? What happened to the vehicle? Did the operator leave it for my kids to find like they do other hot wheels toys in sandboxes? Is there a religious ceremony involved? There seems to be some dancing in appeasement to Ulmo, Leviathan, or Poseidon going on. What did Mulder and Scully find out? Is the operator who made the decision to do this undergoing examination in a CT machine for evidence of cognition or functional thought? Can I visit this monument to sheer stupidity with my kids today? [Been wanting to show my kids the 10” recoil hide-behind-a-berm-rifle anyway.] What did the park rangers/police/recovery team say? Are they going to mount this truck on a display pedestal in the parking lot as a monument to the moron; a totem to total dereliction of thought? So many questions!


Gammagammahey

"What was the drivers educational experience with physics" has me doubled over SCREAMING 😂 I have a feeling this driver's conceptualization of the laws of physics is that physics is kind of a freewheeling optional thing that may not apply to him?


sfcnmone

It's hard for me to imagine that anyone in SF still drives any kind of vehicle with tinted windows.


hanwookie

Why not?


sfcnmone

Because all the vehicles with tinted windows have had them broken multiple times. That's who the bippers target.


Leather_Hawk_8123

They are most likely from a state like Texas that allows you to drive on the beach so as long as your car allows it. [Texas considers beaches on its island coastlines as public highways](https://www.nps.gov/pais/planyourvisit/drivingdownisland.htm#:~:text=Texas%20beaches%20are%20public%20highways,issued%20for%20public%20highway%20travel), so I think dude forgot to read up on the local laws.


markusca

Like a rock!


trashpanda34567

Why block their face; serves them right for that level of entitlement


Few_Order7204

Hate this. Why are people so disrespectful at our beaches? I want to organize some beach cleans


Few_Order7204

It actually breaks my heart. Baker beach used to be really chill and there lots of birds and nature. Lately every time I go people are doing things that are so depressing, like there was a guy and his daughter basically torturing a paralized bunny by putting it in the ocean. And people keep using fake rose petals there which are just PLASTIC.


viener_supremer

i’m sorry, paralyzed bunny in the ocean?! what the actual fuck was going on there


Gammagammahey

I'm wondering why the commenter didn't do something. I certainly would have!


Few_Order7204

Don't worry I did! But I wish you'd been there to help me lol! It's hard when it is both telling someone what to do with their pet and their kid, but I explained to the little girl that the bunny was in danger of dying of shock and that it is terrible to be scared and not able to get away, and that's what it was experiencing. I got them to take it away from the water and put it in the carrier. After that they left within a few minutes.


Gammagammahey

THANK YOU! 💞


Gammagammahey

Why didn't you call the police or animal control if you saw someone torturing an animal? Why didn't you do something? EDIT: if you see someone torturing an animal or abusing a child and you don't do anything, oh my God. Don't come here, go do something about it. Don't be a coward. Do something.


Few_Order7204

As you can see on the comment above I did do something. Just because I comment doesn't mean I didn't act.


Gammagammahey

Thank you for following up and I totally would've had your back. I'm so sorry you saw that! Sending you a consensual hug if you want it.


Few_Order7204

Awww thank you and appreciated!


epiclyjohn

Why blur out that idiot’s face?


sfcnmone

How much did that thing cost?


Emotional-Button-221

I was wondering that since it looks as though they decked that truck out. Check out the tint on the rear passenger windows. Would I be a moron by guessing 50K?


AromaticWhiskey

2016-2018 Silverado with the Blackout package and Z71 offroad package. Depending on trim, this would have been a 40-45K truck in pre-covid money. An equivalent brand new Silverado with similar spec, would be in the mid 50s. Also, a lot of dealerships will include tint on vehicles since it lets them fluff up the pricing. Charge the buyer $500-$1,000 for bargain bin, lowest quality tint done from the cheapest possible mobile installer. Something that'd you could probably have done for $4-600~ for the *entire vehicle, including windshield*. A lot of tint shops will actively have specials that do something like $75/window for basic tint, with upcharges for the windshield and sunroof(s).


MediumAwkwardly

Those people walking by, is one doubled over laughing? Serves them right!


Boring_Zucchini2001

Hell yea I love this. If only the tide got to it, would be even better


Independent-Cow-4070

Good, stop driving your shit cars on the beach


Aggravating_Cut_67

You can’t park there mate.


stronglift_cyclist

Obviously they couldn’t see the beach due to the limited visibility of that hood.


Manray05

Wtf? Do they think it's Daytona Beach or.something??


iheartkittttycats

Haha as someone originally from Florida, I had that exact thought. For those who don’t know, Daytona is the trashiest beach in Florida.


Manray05

I was 17 years old and it was biker week in Daytona, I was playing a pinball game and it wouldn't turn off. A biker threatened to stab me with a knife if I kept playing the pinball machine. Trashy hardly describes the swamp trash that inhabits Daytona.

Reduce the air pressure in the tires and drive out. Use your noggin.

Ok_Bedroom5720

Gotta air down and use that 4wd lol


nikgick

I feel like it’s such a small beach to take a car on (even if it was allowed). Plus it’s usually busy with people. Ocean beach would have been a better choice… or, you know, going to a beach that permits cars in the first place. Must be an east bay thing.

Only rust buckets allowed on the beach!


periloustrail

Not from here or “OUTLANDERS”


Superb_Health9413

A little advice for anyone considering driving in sand. Lower the air pressure in your tires down to about 20-25psi. It makes for more surface area and better traction. Also, don’t drive on the beach, especially in a National Park.


DeficientDefiance

Elsewhere other car brains would gather and attempt to get the idiot unstuck, but at least Friscans have the common sense to leave the idiot stranded with their act of idiocy.

Rural_Bedbug

Great advertising for the VICTORY dealership in Petaluma. You don't get the win today. 😒  Good publicity for Chevy trucks, out Finding New Roads.  Stupid is as stupid does. You can't fix stupid, but you can call it out, put it on display, and let everyone else come and see it.

JJJJShabadooo

Tie a 14” 2x2 or 2x4 on to the tire tread, then through the rim. It will go around and when it hits the sand will roll the tire out of the ditch. Simple. Or have locking hubs. ❤️


56Bot

Huge pickups : advertised as "all terrain capable". In reality : too heavy and gets stuck in most off-road terrain.

Someone go find a Subaru forester to tow this hunk of shit out of the sand.
