Okay, my friend's mom had a 98 Bravada, almost a year ago she had trouble with it, go into and accident and said screw the car. She left it in a parking lot and after a month she had it towed to my aunts house to keep it there.

She doesn't want it anymore and shes given it to me because i want a project. The first problem (among many i probably will face) is how the hell to get this unregistered vehicle to my house 9 miles away.

My friend has a tow truck but hes got problems and im tired of dealing with it i just want this damn car at my house. Anyone have advice on the best way to get this car to my house?

I assume flatbed would be the best way. I have AAA and they flatbed towed my blazer a few months back when my wheel came off. I was thinking about calling them, but im hearing AAA won't tow it if your not stranded (the cars obviously been sitting there for a while) + i dont have the title yet.

I'd go with a local towing company but i don't exactly have the money to do this, so im looking for the most cost effective way to tow this thing. I could pay for it by credit card but i have no cash at the moment.

looking for any advice.

 

You have pretty much covered everything.

You could rent a tow dolly and disconnect the rear driveshaft for the trip, but that would cost money and you would need a vehicle with a hitch. And then you would need a way to get the truck up on the dolly (if it is not running).

 

Funny that you mention that Kyle. I was just perusing the U-Haul website last night looking at the single, and dual axle towing options. The single axle dolly costs around $18 a day. But be prepared to show the clerk that you have a decent size vehicle to tow the Bravada with, they may not let you rent it. Or, you could tell them your pulling a Pinto with it.

 

hmm, would my s10 be okay to tow with?

 

S-10 pickup? Flat land, NO hills, and no overdrive. Risky yes, doable, yea. Stay away from rush hour traffic.

U-haul may say no. Depends on who you deal with.

I know in NY, only way to tow another vehicle is either tow dolly or a tow bar. Chains and ropes are a no no.

 

Well after long consideration and anger, im gonna let my friend and his dad tow it cause im not in the best financial situation, and he kinda owes me for flat towing his Camaro with my Blazer.

This tow trucks only gonna be lifting the front wheels, since its AWD what needs to be done to accomplish this w/o damaging the Bravada? Disconnecting the rear drive shaft?

 

Yep, just as Swartlkk has mentioned in his previous post, just drop the drive shaft and your ready to go. Just make sure you follow safety procedures before and after towing while that drives shaft is out. IE chock blocks.
Good luck, hope you get it home in one piece.
