Hi
Not sure what vehicle problem you are responding to. I am referring to flat
towing with a towbar of mil vehicles with all tires in road ready condition.
Nothing to do with hummers specifically. It even applies to the old M38A1
and M151 series. I am sure that your vehicle problems were real and dealt
with appropriately.
Regards
Glenn
