No need for a tow truck when you have two bobtails with power liftgates!

Look a little closer, that receipt has 129k miles on the top. Somehow catalytic converters are never supposed to fail by cracking open due to manufacturing defects.

1 truck with household goods, one with car and more HHG. Unload all the goods, then reverse the car loading process!
