    towing with a wrecker

    towing the only thing that you could do is to either add a tow sling (very limited due to the plastic and very thin metal bumpers), or add an underlift to the rear of the wrecker( do not believe that you would have enough nose weight to pack a road tractor from the front with the wrecker)...
