Towing a Ford Mustang Mach-E! 

I hate calling them Mustangs. They’re anything but.

He’s trading his in for one of these. 😂😂😂😂

I almost always use the lower arms also, but in this case the arms have plastic sleeves, and the towing procedure says never to use them as a tow point. I also very rarely ever use the tow pins. Too much headache and extra work for something less reliable and risky. These have a rated tow point on the bumper that makes it easy. Not many EV’s do.

Thanks for watching!

Definitely different!

Yeah in a wreck, I’d grab the arms. Just have to be careful of the plastic sleeves on them.

Welcome to the internet. Where people that have never done your job, tell you how to do your job 😂

This is awesome lol

That would make sense. Hopefully it’s on there somewhere or will be included in future models.

​@@Towtruck_Dustinim quite sure he means the eye to screw it in.

Yeah my passenger door is a pain to close. You have to open a window or driver door to get it to shut lol

Who ever designed that atrocious vehicle and called it a Mustang should have to live with Jimmy Hoffa!😊

I was thinking the same thing. Those tow points are gunna be useless in a front end collision.

Thank You!

The wonders of modern technology lol

10:55 Bruh no wonder she has a flat the tire is bald 😅

Tire has definitely seen better days lol

I’ve had a few questions lol

Thank You!

Thank You!

WATCH AND SEE HOW GOOD THEY ARE IN 5 OR 6 YEARS. HOW MUCH WILL IT COST YOU TO FIX THIS THEN. YOU WILL BE SORRY. BET CHA

Sounds like they’re ignorant to towing practices then.

electric smectric

Thank You!

Definitely have to be careful!

Driving them onto the bed is a bad habit to get into. More control when you winch them up like you’re supposed to.

Burn down your house, apartment, the forest; that has a LOT to do with others. I suggest you watch a couple of the many videos. LI fires cannot be extinguished by any means.

PEOPLE NEED OTHERS TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS JUNK.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

That’s a dynamic bed. They’re cool!

They’re cool, but I’ve heard they’re problematic. Would be useful in many situations tho.

@@Towtruck_Dustin that brand sucks! If it were built by NRC it would be a bad ass truck.

Thank You!

That's usually if they are wrecked. When we tow ev that's wrecked we have to put them 20ft away from everything in all directions when we get to the yard that way it doesn't catch fire and burn other things

If you have the opportunity, attend the American tow expo. They provide awesome inexpensive classes on how to manage these ev vehicle.

Yeah as stated above that’s only a concern if they’re wrecked.

Here in Germany we even have to lift them in a container and flood with water, after a serious wreck.

@@tobiasmetzger4522 Think the EV has its place and not a replacement for ICE. About 100yrs ago or there abouts they tried the EV don't see it today for a reason, the biggest is the cost, infrastructure can't handle the load, time to charge, number of stations etc...... Should not be mandated, PERIOD!!! P.S. 1888 in your part of the planet was a guy named Andreas Flocken designed the Flocken Elektrowagen. I haven't seen any lately. lol

Maybe it wasn’t in the car? Maybe he didn’t know how? Maybe the gash in the tire was too large?

Yes. Straight commission.

Yep. Doesn’t make sense

My neighbor ran into a similar problem. He has a hybrid Honda with no spare tire. Fortunately for him, he knew it right away, so ever since then, he carries his own spare tire on the trunk. It's crazy. The least the dealer could do is tell the woman there was no spare. But this entire movement toward electric vehicles is absolutely ridiculous. I'm an old school muscle car guy and every Mustang I owned a 5.0 L V8. Hopefully, when FJB is out of there, we can get back to reality and let market forces determine who owns and who wants electric vehicles , not government bureaucrats.

But I guess on the plus side. It's job security for you and your fellow tow operators .

Why would I? It’s public information. You don’t drive around in public with it covered up.

lol do you cover your tag driving in public in view of others dashcams?

Most new vehicles don’t come with spares from the factory.

Gotta save the environment somehow lol

Si

Hay una tienda en mi pueblo

Hay una tienda

Most of them are dumb liberals

Unfortunately it’s the other way around. They vary rarely have many. I was surprised this one had underbody hook points at all.

The one without air in it. Lol

mark 9:04

How do you plan to do that with a huge hole in the tire that can’t be repaired?

@Towtruck_Dustin you probably didn't know that till you go there to look at the tire. People always say they have a flat tire till the tow truck driver look at it, see a bigger problem than a flat tire. I Know all about it. My younger brother had worked for 2 towing for many years till he passed away in 2015. I only watched till you pulled up to the Mustang EV. I tried not to watch towing video when it brings up memory of my younger brother driving rollback truck

That’s the boring part. Any time I’ve included drive time in a video, it never does well. No one wants to see that.

@@Towtruck_Dustin i want to see that, like a vlog as youre driving id love it

Dustin the drive time is the best part

@@Drpepperkev4 exactly bro

That happened to like 1 person out of all the Mach-Es on the road and it happened once. Let's not pretend that is a problem that most people have to deal with.

No… it doesn’t come with a spare tire. Like most newer vehicles.

From your comments it is apparent that you read the title but couldn't be bothered watching the clip.

I explained that pretty thoroughly in the video. Driving cars onto the bed is a very bad habit to get into. Shortcuts work out most of the time, but when they don’t, it’s expensive.

I would drive them too. Until you realize how heavy those ev vehicles can be. I wouldn’t trust that weight and angle. Also you can see how the customer is watching every move he makes. If you Duke of hazard that car up the bed. You’ll potentially damage that bumper. Scraps do count and customer has every right to make a claim.

​@@Towtruck_Dustini see it as the opposite. Unnecessarily pulling it (which sometimes isnt even possible if you're out of the vehicle) can scratch the bumper, since you guys don't use the tow eyes.
