    Ray,

    Better yet.....Call the AMA and see if their free towing / roadside assistance plan can help. They've saved my arse a couple of times and it didn't cost me one cent more than my AMA membership.

    If you're thinking of one of those U-Haul deals, they have a ridiculously low max vehicle weight (less than 3,500 lbs). We thought about doing this with an '97 F250. The truck was double the limit on weight and it wouldn't have fit between the trailer wheels either.

    Brighton Ford....Really?

    I am Dennis Stowers. I own a top notch Auto & Truck repair shop in Westminster. If you want Brighton Ford to work on your truck, do yourself a favor and call me first. If nothing else you will get some real advise on your best options. I am really busy usually, so give me a call if you want to get on the schedule this week sometime. AMA tow is good idea, also AAA, or if your insurance is State Farm or some others, they often will reimburse your towing expenses. 303-430-REPAIR.

    AMA came to the rescue. Didn't cost me a dime. Dennis thanks for the info. I appreciate the offer. The only guy I trust to work on my truck is Chris Weed at Brighton Ford. Top notch diesel mechanic who takes great care of me.

    Truck repair

    That's the key, find "A" guy that will take care of you, that knows what they're doing. I didn't know Brighton Ford had any good mechanics that would put up with their Dealership crap. Hopefully they get you squared away. I just didn't want to see one of the MRA just go blindly head off to the dealership to fix their truck, that always scares me. Have a great day guys.

    Curious to know what AMA covers, for non-bike related towing? It's great that they do...

    Heck, what do they even cover for bike-related towing?

    AMA roadside covered the entire tow for my F250 from Aurora to Brighton. Didn't cost me a dime.

    Let me make sure I understand this correctly:

    Because you are a current AMA member, you got your tow for free?

    Or, did you have to opt into roadside coverage initially for this to be available to you? (eg: are there different coverages available?)
