Towing attachment points

Yep Ian, I reread the post, you're right.
Well, you know what they say...a mind is a terrible thing...when it gets old.

Assuming that the tow driver get the car onto the rollback however you want, the real problem is when he chains the rear of the car to the bed and cranks down with the winch on the front attachment to secure the car. The driver will make sure the car is secure, no matter what the owner thinks, it's a liability thing. Those tow truck winches are strong.

That could cause trouble with the weight distribution, the trailer would start to fishtail , ask me how I know this.

Still a very good point.
Any pro who transports a car will crank it down so it won't move but I don't like it when they attach at the body instead of the axle. That can be hard on the car. I know they do it so the load doesn't bounce around and get damaged that way, but damage is damage. The best tie down is the bridle strap harness mentioned above.
