My take is he got into a serious situation going by himself, having to hike out at night and return the next day with help.

@sirstuck because states like Tennessee have little idea how to deal with major winter storms.
Years ago there was a FedEx commercial showing one of its delivery vans slipped off pavement and stuck in mud. FedEx manager got call from driver, took taxi to stuck van location and loaded as many packages as she could into the taxi to complete delivery. That wouldn't sell me on FedEx.

Now I've seen it. Look for videos of FedEx and UPS package vans stuck.

Some rental companies forbid off road driving of their vehicles. They quit renting 4x4 trucks years ago. Some places there are rental jeeps and suvs but often only for organized trips.
Now and then someone rents a truck or van from a company like U Haul, drives it off road, gets stuck or does some damage and the rental place takes legal action. There was a YouTube video of getting a stuck U Haul pickup out of an off road area. Including a deputy getting his sheriff's office 4x4 pickup stuck trying to get into the area, and the winch on the truck didn't work.

Only shows dash and speedometer going up to 80 mph. No view of tire spinning or even working the pedals of his stuck truck. But ty for posting.

Except about as often or not you'll get more stuck when trying the 4wd. Or the 4wd might not engage properly.

He has other stuck videos including a couple more of his Caprice, a bus and a semi truck.

See the channel for several videos of an suv, either Nissan Patrol or Mitsubishi, stuck in grass covered slick as peanut butter clay.

There are countries where those are 90 percent of the so called roads

Ex cop car per the search light on the windshield frame.

See if a cop ever did it with his Crown Vic police interceptor.

@Shoesandsocks
Yes.
Make sure the 4 wheel drive is working. Don't disturb the sharks.

So. One of the first videos in Start for Daddy stuck category was these 2 guys were taking a shortcut through the swamp in their Ford Bronco. Pedal action, spinning back tires. They. Get. Stuck. Driver says he'll get them put. But along comes a speeding prehistoric shark.
Since the YouTube channel is down, look for this at the beginning of the film Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre. YouTube might have that opening scene.

@Ahhorny
Further, how do you and fellow officers get unstuck?

So where do you go on patrol or police time to get stuck? Some US police departments would discipline or reprimand officers for getting their units stuck or going off road.
Others, it's one of those things. Once I asked a New Jersey park police officer if he ever got stuck in his patrol unit in one Wharton's state forest, and he said "we've all been stuck. I've been stuck." He added that they try to get unstuck on their own before or instead of getting help. Their units include Chevy Tahoes and Ford F150s.

Speculation why he just didn't dismount and push or walk it out.

Sup when there's snow on the ground but warm enough for t shirts or less?
Maybe it's like the GMC Sierra ad showing 2 guys riding in their Sierra pickup with a quad and a dirt bike loaded in back, parodied to say they're riding to a remote location to make love as they're secret boyfriends.

@rauhbein1 does he know about the stuck fetish? Does he live for a good stuck?

This guy also gets his Ram pickup stuck plowing snow.

Broke the transfer case. Breaking a major component takes the fun out of a good stuck.
