:waytogo: that sounds like a solution :) how will it attach to the vehicle being towed? Does it bolt to the frame?

:word: I had a 95 for a couple years and that motor was a dog. It was reliable and never let me down but it wasn't going nowhere fast :lol: I think my 99 Denali was faster than that 95 ECSB silvy...

Heavy Duty Tow strap from Home Depot and tow that ***** late night. Make sure you put in a fresh battery for the hazards or have a another vehicle behind you trailering.

Black95 towed my Hoe, around 9ishpm clogged up main rds and all doing 30. Scared shitless b.c I wanted to do a midnight tow. Prolly a 20 mile ride down 3 main roads and we took the sceneic route!

Either way we made it!

GL Plan your route

ok.. never mind.. the frame mount for the bumper on this truck are sideways not flat like loder modles.. so they want another 149 for teh mounting plates for the tow bar.. grrrr. anyone have a flat bed race car trailer around here that the bed sits up higher than the wheels so it is wider.

:word: then you can use it the rest of the year as well and it basically pays for itself. I don't even think you need to be a AAA policy holder to have a AAA plus membership
