Ive had a number of major health issues and have not used the GMC in a long time. Sold my property and need to move it about 35 mil
Some time back there was a guide to towing and transport but I cant seem to find it
I have a company that thinks it can be done on their 35' roll back but id like to review recomendations
thanks

When I had an engine and transmission failure about 170 miles from home, five years ago, I got towed home with a medium duty front wheel lift truck. It handled it just fine. I had the air bags on full lift and there were no issues with the rear end dragging, etc. The driver said it was like towing a big fifth wheel. JWID.

Late last fall we had our GMC towed 300 miles on a goose neck flatbed pulled by a 1 ton Dodge pickup.

They used a Haynes 500 to pull my coach home for its new engine. Air bags full up, lifted the front wheels and towed. 110 miles.
