My theory is: The guy with the dodge bought that PSD off craigslist. His plan is to restore it and sell his dodge. And his reason for towing it with a dodge was, his mother wouldnt let him use her PSD to tow it.

Me first! LOL! I wish I could have seen a closer pic of the ranch hand on that! I want one, or build one close to it! They are kinda pricey!

By the looks of that psd it seems to me they don't take too good care of it. Nice bumper but tires are junk, loaded with junk in the rear, etc. Probably got 500000 miles on it and just use it for $%^& work.

Rush hour traffic with a tow strap hmmm I see stupid people they're everywhere. Normally it would be the vehicle in the back to slow you down in that situation. Maybe the PSD is running just blew the tanny

Don't pick on the Ford too much. I've been there, too. Had a Dodge tow me home once, it can happen to anyone.

And it doesn't seem like too bad idea to get towed with a strap during rush hour. You're not going too fast to really risk any dangerous sudden stops or manuevers.
