All excellent advise here (previous posts). I have towed many of these trucks many times. I always tie the steering wheel straight. Sometimes I stop two or tree times til I get it running straight to avoid more tire wear than needed. The important thing is that you must do your slowing down before any turn. It's important that you drag the PW around the turn and not let it push you around because it's going to go straight if you allow it to push and your rear end will end up sideways. I use a military "light" tow bar. It tows up to 2 1/2 ton 6X6s. Be extremely cautious when backing up with it or avoid it. That's the esiest way to bend a tow bar. To avoid any tow bar damage to my tow bar I only loan out the military "medium" because it would take a 5 ton 6X6 to do any damage. It also takes 16 men and a water boy to handle it but it allows enough fudge factor for the novice borrower. Bottom line is SLOW AND EASY. Good Luck
