Granted when I felt like I was going to get stuck I have bounced off my redline during parts of many crossings, but why else have a red-line if you aren't going to use it 4-low and 1st should still also allow you to go fast enough to keep up the momentum to not get stuck in the mud if its a deep water/mud crossing. Remember slow and steady wins the race
