  • Hey guys!
    On today’s video, we start off with towing a Mustang Mach-E, after it runs out of range. Thankfully the owner was paying attention and stopped in a safe place!!
    Then we work a police rotation after a Toyota RAV4’s hood flips up going down the road after a bungee cord failed to keep it down!
    Hope yall enjoy the video, thanks for watching!

    People with older cars all you need to do is spray the hood latch a few times a month with WD40 will help so much. If your hood doesn't latch just look at the latch look at the cable where it is attached to then use a screw driver and slide it back so there is no slack on the cable. Usually works most of the time.

    That bungee cord cost more money than repairing it originally. I don’t think insurance will pay for the damage, because she knew it was broken and dangerous well before she started out to today.

    If you guys start getting more and more EV calls you should get one of those portable charging stations. I think they can give like 10 to 15 miles of charge. Enough to get the car to a charging station.

    Great video.
    I don’t think an “all electric” ⚡ vehicle is the best choice, hybrid seems to be less likely to be stranded. Eventually there will be more charging stations which will make “all electric” vehicles a better choice. That must have been startling to have your hood flipped up while you’re driving, it’s good she wasn’t injured.

    Just a comment on this video, I am surprised you didn't ride in the minivan while loading it with the officer's and lady standing directly behind it, just in case your winch or hooks failed you could step on the brakes.

    Fun fact about the mustang mach e, you can't use a regular floor on them. Must use a lift to lift the whole car cause you can twist the frame by lifting just a corner

    Why do people buy these things lol? I just don't think it's there yet. You have to fine tune your entire day around it. Can't run a couple errands that you didn't plan for at lunch or you'll end up on a tow truck. I can charge in 15 minutes, just have to wait an hour for the tow truck to get here and take me to the charger. 🤦‍♂️ I don't care if Ford offers free towing as much as you need it. Jesus Christ is it really worth that much effort? As you sit and stare at the 100 gas pumps you could be using lol? Hybrids are the future. Until the EV charging network improves, I won't have one. To each their own though.

    Its so weird that your American Mach E are different in the towing procedure than our European ones. We just screw the eyelet in like on every other car and can pull on that. Or use the crane, in case its not moving anymore at all

    Why you don’t use your eight point straps for everyday use. It’s the standard now.

    • @Towtruck_Dustin
      @Towtruck_Dustin  2 місяці тому +2

      Because they take way too much time to setup and takedown compared to D-ring straps.
      They’re also not the standard, especially for those of us that don’t just do roadside calls.
      Leave those 8 points on and try to load something you can’t steer or has wheels missing. Now you have to take the time in the middle of an active accident scene to throw the straps off so they’re not in the way.
