Looks like murder hornets.

Lack of attachment points is a large reason why I'll pass on pulling out cars. Let the tow trucks with the special hooks take care of those. Obviously if someone is stuck in the desert and in danger I'd do it anyway but if you have cell service and aren't in danger you can wait for the tow service.

In my older (2004) camper I can't leave anything on the bed. Not a big deal for me. I just toss the sleeping bag back up when I'm ready for bed. A lot of people don't like the old style roll down storm flaps but they work. Not a bit of leakage even in extreme storms.

When I put my Jeep on its side I Iearned just how nice soft shackles can be. Plenty of spots to use a bow shackle front and rear but not from the side. Soft shackle made the attachment easy.

I bought a base truck. Pretty sure I'm part of the general public. Jeeps, wranglers at least are supposed to be anemic. They aren't safe to drive at high speeds.

I'm not at all sure I could have driven it up on anything. https://craigruth.smugmug.com/Blackrock/i-bMQNGVz/A

I've had to use the hi lift to raise my truck high enough to get the bottle jack under the axle. You may be able to dig to get enough room depending on terrain. I got to see the ARB jack in use on the rubicon. I used to think they were way too expensive but I'm getting older. It may be time...

I've been thinking Canoe because my dog will not ride in my kayak.
