I have used them several times and they work great. I'm in the Everglades, so about 1,000 square miles of soft swamp. I can't imagine any other recovery board that costs 2-3 times as much doing much better. I have a 4Runner but have used it on a few other cars to get it out of the mud and it runs like a champ. Love the way they stack together and the bag they come in isn't top quality but it's good enough and extra handy to put dirty boards in so you don't get dirt on the truck , and you can then wash them off home.
