In the mud of the Transamazonica, electric car crosses the mud, Hilux needs help and milk truck keeps going, showing how the stretch traps vehicles
The Transamazonica has once again drawn attention for a reason that many people know well: mud, stuck vehicles, and cars trapped on the road. In a video recorded on site, the situation is clearly depicted, with drivers stopping, assessing the trail, and trying to overcome the slippery ascent.
What surprises in the recording is the contrast between the vehicles. While Saveiro and Hilux get stuck and need help, an electric car appears in the middle of the scene and crosses the mud, leaving without stopping, and a milk truck easily crosses alongside, drawing even more attention.
Electric car appears on the Transamazonica and crosses the mud
Right at the beginning, the recording highlights the unexpected: an electric car on the Transamazonica. The narrator reacts upon seeing the vehicle entering the muddy stretch and crossing the mud pit.

Toyota embarrassed: car from the brand receives zero safety rating even with airbags and stability control; naturally aspirated 1.5 hatch with up to 105 hp had structure considered unstable and insufficient protection for head and chest.
The passage of the electric car becomes the shocking point of the video precisely because it occurs in the middle of a situation where other vehicles are struggling. The contrast between the electric car moving forward and the others getting stuck in the mud dominates the scene.
Saveiro gets stuck in the mud and needs to be towed
Next, the recording shows the need for towing. The Saveiro gets stuck and, at one point, the group indicates that “now we pull,” attempting to get the vehicle out of the heaviest part of the mud.
The video also mentions the care at the towing point, referring to pulling “at the axle,” showing that, besides the urgency, there is practical concern about how to remove the car without worsening the problem. The mud pit leaves no room for error and any slip can sink it further.
Hilux also gets stuck and becomes a trial after trial
Another part that draws attention is the Hilux getting stuck. The recording points out that it “got stuck” and that the situation “is not good,” reinforcing that the stretch is not easy even for a vehicle known for handling rough terrain.
In different moments, new attempts appear, with guidance to control acceleration and avoid slipping. The feeling is that the stretch requires technique, patience, and sometimes outside help to get out.
Other vehicles appear on the stretch and the risk becomes evident
Besides the Saveiro and Hilux, the video mentions the passage of a Creta and also cites Pajero and references to “4×4,” always with the same backdrop: mud, slipping, and the risk of going into the ditch if the line is wrong.
The narrator reinforces the tension of the moment, showing that the decision to go up or turn back is not simple. In such a mud pit, the choice of path matters more than power.
Milk truck passes alongside and draws attention
The most curious point, besides the electric car, is the milk truck. It appears as “the weakest milk truck,” but crosses the stretch “as if it were nothing,” according to the reaction in the video.
This contrast reinforces the idea that, in that type of mud, factors like traction, weight, tires, and momentum can completely change the outcome. While cars get stuck and need to be towed, the truck keeps going and passes playfully alongside.
What the video shows about the Transamazonica in this stretch
The recording does not provide numbers or exact location, but shows a typical scenario of a road in difficult condition: vehicles stopped, people directing, repeated attempts, and the constant risk of slipping.
What is clear is that the Transamazonica has points where the mud becomes a real test for any vehicle, from light cars to utility vehicles, and that the practical experience of those on site weighs as much as the car model.
In your opinion, in this type of stretch of the Transamazonica, what makes the most difference to pass without getting stuck: the right tire, 4×4 traction, momentum, or the driver’s technique?
