I have mulled getting a tow vehicle myself for some time and been giving this some thought myself. There are probably a few things that you should address before making a decision on a suitable rig:

- Are you wanting it as a daily driver as well?

- Will you need sleeping space for overnighting?

- How big/heavy is your trailer?

- How many people are going to be traveling with?

- Do style points matter?

Here is something I had in mind to do for myself...

Or, you could do what my buddy Matt (slamdbusa) did. He got himself one of these...



Actually, that *is* his.

Here's what I'm working on... '55 F250, mustangII IFS, 4.9 six and ZF 5 speed









I've wanted one of these since I was 9 years old, this will be my daily driver/tow vehicle when it's done.

Does that pretty much run on anything for fuel?

^^^^ lol nice find on the military tow rig... That would be nice to have the one that runs on old motor oil among other things...

Yes. It doesn't hurt that he works at a dealership with access to all that used oil.

It seconds as an apartment too. LOL

That is so rockin'. I'd love to have a vehicle like that. I'd just be worried about parts replacement availability and cost.

shit you could almost just make a nascar style trailer door, and have an enclosed trailer!! lol

ford transit I really want one of these for parts pick up and hauling. im not sure how it is on towing tho

Mine; Simple; to the point. 1999 F350 Dually 4x4, its the 'supra' of the truck world... Unless you buy the 2001+ versions which only come in 5.7ltr? or 6.2? w/e it is. You have to buy the 450 to get the 7.3 again. Little do my two friends know; I'd been working on having something for towing... unfortunate for me... my once pals who got me into trouble ignore me!!! *snarf*

That looks like a MDuce... reminds me of a little house on the prairie wagon.. I think it runs off of hay?

I totally want to do this
