LOL. When we pulled my dad's boat out on a particularly bad ramp, we wondered why there was a decent sized crowd watching. Turned out that basically anything 2WD was having a hell of a time because of the steepness and quality of the ramp surface. Fortunately his 4.9L V6 F-150 had the granny first, but he still had to have five members of the crowd (and me) stand on the back bumper and tongue of the trailer to get enough traction to get up the ramp.
After parking, we walked back to watch a few more boats come out. The only vehicle that didn't need assistance from the crowd was a guy who had 4WD, and even he had to put it in low range. We left shortly after a guy in a Buick Electra burned up his automatic transmission (lots of RPM, no tire movement, lots of smell) trying to pull out a boat, let it roll back, got the car and trailer jackknifed sideways on the ramp, and was waiting for a tow truck.
