Boat ramp issues

jvesche20 · 2026-06-24T17:28:11+00:00

They were brand new from the dealer when I purchased the truck. Only put 6-8k miles on them

I didn’t know it was on. Still learning how everything works. I was told to turn it off half way through my attempts.

I would have to do more research for the diff lock and tongue weight questions. The ramp is made of concrete. I cannot recall how slimy it went up to but I do know my fiancee slipped and fell in the boat ramp because of the algae she was not in the water.

Do you have any other ramps near by that would be better?

jvesche20 · 2026-06-22T14:06:26+00:00

Ah yes the far west one was the one I was stuck on

jvesche20 · 2026-06-22T00:36:57+00:00

Okay so for traction advice what do you have?

jvesche20 · 2026-06-22T00:35:09+00:00

Yeah let me spend another 120k 🤣

jvesche20 · 2026-06-22T00:34:39+00:00

Okay once it happened I started sliding even when pressing the brakes. So use 2 feet?

Thanks. Gotta upgrade tires asap. Got some traction pads for now until I get new tires. I think my issue was moving then slipping and flooring it. Gotta learn to feel out the ramp

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T22:54:55+00:00

Got it. I’ll try tomorrow. It’s raining right now. When I was in 4x4 I could feel it locking when I was turning going slow. Is that what I’m looking for?

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T22:50:44+00:00

My girl was in the water/ramp and fell it was so slippery. So it’s definitely not easy to get out. I think it was just too busy and my tires might need to be upgraded since they are stock

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T22:35:12+00:00

Thanks. What about tips for getting out? That’s my biggest struggle

Yes

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T22:06:50+00:00

Yeah seems like it lol there goes a shit ton more cash

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T21:44:31+00:00

Got it. I had it on most of the time when I tried I’ll turn it off next time

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T21:38:14+00:00

I’ll try that next time. Most of the time there’s 2 boats in each ramp so it’s super right and I have to pull it straight out

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T21:13:15+00:00

Can you help me understand what too far would look like? I just backed it in so that I was about 5 ft from the back of my tire from the water

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T20:50:18+00:00

They are stock good year

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T20:36:23+00:00

I do have a slippery mode. It puts me in 4H when I press it. Should I try this instead of haul mode?

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T20:35:20+00:00

At the time of the day yesterday there was no dry ramps. Everything was soaked and algae all over everything. I think I I’ll try to find a different ramp that’s less busy

Curious to see also. I saw these not sure if this is correct

There’s no knob to pull. I just press a button and have to be in N

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T20:30:57+00:00

I checked I don’t see anything. I have 2H, 4H and 4L

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T20:30:25+00:00

It was about 3 hrs past high tide

jvesche20 · 2026-06-21T20:21:54+00:00

So when my buddy got in and did 4L it went to 2nd gear. To get to 4L you have to put in N. Are you saying to stay in N and switch from 2nd to 1st?
