STRANGER AND FREAKS #7 Mission: Pulling Another Favor

Franklin returns to the streets of Los Santos in “Pulling Another Favor,” a chaotic tow truck mission that combines precision driving with high-stakes urgency. As Tonya drags him back into the towing business, players must navigate tight corners and outrun an angry car owner—all while racing against the clock to secure a Gold Medal. Can you handle the heat and keep the hook steady?

Hook at the back of the car

The premises of this mission are identical to those of the previous one. You need to reach the parking lot, while accompanied by her, reach the location where there is an inappropriately parked SUV, on the Towtruck. Since you cannot hook the car by its front, you need to rev up to the car’s back, and hook the car in the way you have already learned. Finally, take the car back to the police parking lot and leave it there, in the marked area.

Rewards for the completion of the mission: none

Requirements for the completion of the mission in 100%:

• Unhook Bonus – you cannot let the car unhook by accident, until the moment that you reach the police parking lot.

What are the best tips for avoiding crashes while towing the SUV

Here are some of the best tips for avoiding crashes while towing an SUV:

Safe Towing Practices

1. Maintain a Steady Pace: Avoid sudden movements, such as sharp turns or abrupt acceleration, as they can destabilize the towing setup and lead to accidents.

2. Use Mirrors and Check Blind Spots: Regularly check your side and rearview mirrors to stay aware of the towed vehicle’s position and any potential hazards on the road.

3. Signal Early: Signal well in advance when changing lanes or making turns to give other drivers enough time to react.

Vehicle Preparation

1. Proper Securing: Ensure the SUV is securely attached to the tow truck using a four-point tie-down system and safety chains. Make sure the vehicle is centered and level on the tow truck.

2. Check Towing Capacity: Never exceed the towing vehicle’s capacity to avoid straining the engine, transmission, or brakes.

Driving Conditions

1. Adapt to Road Conditions: Reduce speed in adverse weather conditions like rain or snow, and use lower gears when descending steep hills.

2. Avoid Distractions: Stay alert and avoid distractions, as they are a common cause of towing accidents.

Regular Checks

1. Inspect Tires and Brakes: Ensure both the towing vehicle and the SUV have properly inflated tires and functioning brakes before towing.

2. Regular Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance checks on both vehicles to prevent mechanical failures.
