EdsTowing Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I don't make a habit of doing this but sometimes the logistics just work out... No it's not an NRC...but just a 10 mile tow back to the shop while he was in the area... The 20' are a bit long for on the bed... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRUMPS The Towman Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I am not a huge fan of "open deck wheel lift tows " either but when the circumstances are fitting, I have done it too. You made a Good call in my opinion. Quote PROFESSIONAL TOWING & RECOVERY IS NOT JUST A JOB.. IT IS A LIFESTYLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESC Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 How did the load handle going down the road? I did it years back with one of our Chevy 6500 beds towing an accord that was stuck in park with no keys.... The truck didnt like it one bit and felt all over the road. I never did it again. Our newer trucks are built much better, so im sure it wouldnt be as bad, just not something I want to do if I can avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsTowing Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 It handles it real nice...no problems at all. I think the big factors are Pete Air ride and the truck is heavy. It's like 17,000. The International it replaced was like 15,300. Also it's a 33,000gvw downrated to 26,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
