#1) Hi lift? Jack up each corner to put 2x6's under wheels, use longer ones for a ramp and have the F150 pull it out. If you diff's are submerged you'll need to change fluids ( be responsible and use oil pans so it can jugged and haulled out too) If intake was submerged don't crank the truck up till you clear the cylinders.

#2) block and tackle? will need a good anker and some shovelling

Just free advice.

Were you really pulling it with the F150? Cause you gotta be in your truck gunning it and hes gotta be gunning it in his truck with a decent tow strap and you shuld be able to pull it out.

If not find a towtruck driver who will drive in there for $$$$ cause its gonna be 500 bucks..

If none of the above ways work. Go to a local industrial store and buy a new or used one of these

This is just an example, the ones i use are a bit different. Get some chain, straps, hell even use the f150 for an anchor and slowly winch yourself out. Ive pulled out fullsize trucks out of discusting holes with these. Probably your cheapest option. Hope this helps.

Ever seen one of those in the mud? My buddy used to have an 07 that was stock. It sank to the axles in soft grass because it was a pig and had to be towed out with a winch.
