Default Towing :D

Well my brother got rear-end about a week about by a private plow. 3/4 F250 4x4 with a V plow and fully loaded salter.
Well it was quoted at over $8k to fix, 8 times more then he paid my parents for it, and 4 times more expensive then it cost to buy now used with the 260k km
So anyways, The plow company is paying out of pocket for another car he found a Kia Rio for around 4k . Hes getting 4800 out of the plow company to cover it, and new winter tires.

So I had to tow his old sentra to our grandfathers about 100km away, Highway and winding country roads with a decent amount of hills.
Next Summer with be fun, I get to Tear the Sentra and a '99 F150 4x4 apart and remove all salvageable parts and sell them.

Towed GREAT with my V6, 2wd /w Tow-Package with a UHaul Car Dolly. Rear end never lowered at all, simple because it doesnt have very much downward weight with the trailer.
Ill have ALOT better pictures later, this was taken with my phone at a Tim Hortons in Debert, NS, Canada
Had my Strobes on, and had 2 cars pull out of the way lol, strobes are Amber/White 70/70 LED's per panel

Glad you made it there safely, and your brother did pretty good for himself!

We also noticed leaving, the UHaul trailer had a 45 Speed limit on one wheel well, and a 55 on the other. haha
