Nice work! Glad you were able to get it into reverse and get it out of the driveway. Like you I prefer towing vehicles from the front. So you’re only required 4 photos? I ask our guys to take 4 photos before loading the vehicle, 4 photos when loaded, and 4 after dropping. If there’s a lot of damage we ask them to take a few more photos. Some of the EV vehicles can be a PIA when ya can’t get them to move. I had a customer leave a Ford Mach-E for me to pick up that was in a fender bender. He told me he left the keys in it and when I got there he never left the key. I had to skate it up. I have the video on my hard drive, I might have to upload that video. Be safe out there brother!

What a POJ. They never think about how the tow drives have to mess with this stuff to tow it. If a suspension component can't handle being pulled up on a flatbed how the heck does it handle a pot hole at roadway speeds? As much trouble as you have getting into neutral I would leave it. If the straps wont hold it Park isn't going to either. The owners manual shows using J hooks in the recovery hooks. Doesn't say anything about strap. Well done.

The Hummer was planned by GM way before Joe... The transition from ICE to EVs is a worlwide trend. But OEMs have to have the time for technology to catch up to the wants, needs, ...and wallets of the People. This Hummer is a very early-run unit, and as many early-production models, has its teething problems. For example, the Tesla CyberTruck's full production date already had to be postponed 3 times, to September.

Factory method seems pretty... No... At least using a strap that short. That's a lot of sideways force on those tow points to do it that way. And the weight on that strap that way, if my memory is correct, you actually just about double the weight when you pull at that kind of angle. Longer strap is better that way. Referencing crane hoisting stuff here. A 10k wll strap shouldn't have an issue, but, something to think about. And if you go longer, you're not getting it as far forward on your deck, which I very much prefer to do, for proper weight distribution. As it is, it worked, I personally would have preferred another foot forward, but, it's on the deck. It works. I feel like the factory people who tell us how to tow these things, have no idea how to tow things... I definitely clash with manufacturers, often.

You dont expriment the broken hooks before young man :p side pull on that kind of hook is never a good idea. Even if it look strong you can be hitin by the wire when the hook on the truck broke. Its made to pull straight ahead or with a little bit angle . with the strap passing through like that , its possible in rare case but , dont take the chance . i know the wire dont go to your winch like it supposed to but its better for your security to pull from only one of those. To be sure you dont coming to short when hummer is on the bed , the way , the only way and its good for all car on the road is to put mini j hook in the frame hole ( chose the good one :p) much more good advice for all model you have to put the loop bolt (in the trunk most of the time)NEVER tow with angle . I speak french sorry if ots not clear. You probably know about that but dont put in practice. Im a man with approx 25k recovery of experience and "teacher" in last year. Stay safe buddy
