My neighbor and I will be driving our sister trucks - both M1165A1s - out to Moab for a bit of off roading. It's about a 300 mile trip (each way) for us.
We'll definitely be bringing tools and a few key spares but I wanted to be prepared for one of the trucks going down.
Which makes me wonder . . . what's the optimal way to tow HMMWV to HMMWV?
Obviously if it happens off road we'll just use a tow strap and get back to civilization. But if it happens on a highway I am wondering if there is an optimal towing strategy between the trucks.
Would the IBIS Tek tow bar be a good solution? I always thought that was for towing a HMMWV behind an FMTV as opposed to another HMMWV. Using a tow strap on actual roads isn't the safest way to go.
Appreciate any thoughts from the group. Photo of the truck superfriends below.
