Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
My Deuce is insured with Hagerty. They basically nope-noped towing even though I have their premium plan.I use State Farm for my 5 ton. I added the rider to my policy, but also sat down with my agent and asked if he understood how big the truck was etc.
He told me he did, and stated "The only thing is we will only tow it to the nearest authorized repair center", to which I replied "So.... where is the nearest BMY/Harsko repair center?" He said if there were any issues to call him.
Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to ask
Good Sam told me to jump in the lake because 'that vehicle was designed for commercial use'. Will call CoachNet.The AAA RV level membership should be able to cover towing. After all, many Class A RVs are as heavy as our trucks are!
There are RV-specific outfits like CoachNet and Good Sam that specialize in roadside assistance for RVs. I'm wondering if they'd consider an old military truck for membership...
Because the military is totally commercialGood Sam told me to jump in the lake because 'that vehicle was designed for commercial use'. Will call CoachNet.
I know. I told the agent (who was a totally cool dude; he escalated the case and was shot down by management) that that statement is a slap in the face to everyone who served.Because the military is totally commercialThanks for the feedback!
Wouldn't the "authorized repair center" be your home or where you store the truck?I use State Farm for my 5 ton. I added the rider to my policy, but also sat down with my agent and asked if he understood how big the truck was etc.

So true! The only time so far I've taken my truck to a shop was to remove the fill and drain plugs from the transfercase.Wouldn't the "authorized repair center" be your home or where you store the truck?
That's my take on it!Wouldn't the "authorized repair center" be your home or where you store the truck?
Thanks for confirming that. That should work for some folks here!If you had it licensed as an RV Then Coachnet or Good Sam would cover it.
Good Sam was a bust as they said that 'a military vehicle was designed for commercial purposes'. Wow.Thanks for confirming that. That should work for some folks here!
.Good Sam was a bust as they said that 'a military vehicle was designed for commercial purposes'. Wow.
.I would say it depends on how far from home you plan to drive. Local is one thing. Cross country is something else.
I rarely drive my deuce more than 50-100 miles from home. If something goes wrong, I'll call a local towing service that I've used before and know will do the job for a fair price.
Most of us don't drive these vehicles long distances. It might better to 'interview' some local towing companies, explain what you have, and find out how far they'll go and what they'll charge to tow it. That way you'll know who to call and about what it'll cost if the need arises. Then you're not paying for a monthly/yearly service that you may never need, and you may find out is useless anyway when the 1-ton rollback shows up.
None of the above applies if you drive a long ways from home.

Might be state related. Hagerty added towing for my M934, but I had to pay for it...I think it was an extra $150/yr. A friend had Hagerty and they towed his deuce... on a rollback.. Probably violated half a dozen laws in the process.. height, weight, you name it.My Deuce is insured with Hagerty. They basically nope-noped towing even though I have their premium plan.
