    not sure what is like there in the USA but I run my own towing company in the UK and I would either pull from bottom arms or use the towing eye what should be supplied in the back of the car. You can see where it can be screwed into the bumper if you pull the cap off at 5:39

    • @Towtruck_Dustin
      @Towtruck_Dustin  24 дня назад +3

      I almost always use the lower arms also, but in this case the arms have plastic sleeves, and the towing procedure says never to use them as a tow point. I also very rarely ever use the tow pins. Too much headache and extra work for something less reliable and risky.
      These have a rated tow point on the bumper that makes it easy. Not many EV’s do.

    I am so very glad I have an old car. I fixed it next to the road a few times, and those things were not serious so i was able to go on no problem. As for flat tyres, had a few and those can be sorted even in remote places. love the spare wheel.

    I got a mach e that got into an accident with a cop car last week. They are steer by wire so after the accident the wheels didnt turn and the rear driver wheel was knocked sideways from the curb so i just drug it on the bed by the control arms and used 2 blocks to make it come up straight. I couldn't find the tow points at all but now I know where they are thanks to you if I ever get one that's not totaled

    • @Towtruck_Dustin

    Nice! Dumb that it only has the 2 t hook slots in the front and none in the back. Glad it has multiple ways to get it neutral, a lot of newer vehicles don’t even have 1. Those tow points are strong caused I dragged one that had front end damage. She needs new tires all around 🤦‍♂️

  • @jwall6006

    Towing it from a front end crash is going to be interesting. It is a bad habit to get into driving onto the bed. Short cuts are great until something goes wrong. People say, well I’ve been doing it for 30 years. I think good luck with that, you’re due.

    Have you heard of or know of the potential fire from the EV malfunction that it has to be covered in a fire blanket to be towed because of the fire hazards? I've heard they can reignite while going down the road on a flat bed or even in the yard out of nowhere reignite so they should be parked kind of off by themselves.

If you Duke of hazard that car up the bed. You’ll potentially damage that bumper. Scraps do count and customer has every right to make a claim.
