Owners of capable four-wheel-drive vehicles sometimes overestimate what their rigs can handle, and the ocean has a way of proving the point. In one recent incident, a Jeep Wrangler ended up stuck in the Pacific surf after its driver ventured too close to the waterline.
Despite the Wrangler’s off-road credentials, the power of the incoming tide quickly overwhelmed the vehicle, and the driver needed assistance to get it back to dry land. It’s a familiar lesson about respecting the limits that nature imposes, no matter how rugged the machine.
