Bronco Delivery
Been a while since I've posted. I'm on the east coast now. The bronco is still in SD. I will be working in Nevada regularly starting next week and I'm trying to figure out the easiest budget friendly beat to get it to Reno area.
Aside from doing a weekend rally, borrowing truck, dragging bronco from SD to Reno then driving tow rig back, anyone have any experience transporting one way? Shipping company or other options.
I have a tow bar for flat towing so I thought about just renting a Uhaul truck flat towing then dropping the Uhaul off, maybe Philo can chime in on the legalities of that.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Bronco Delivery
Find a short course team racing wild west motorsports park in sparks and see if they have an extra truck making the haul. It August 14th ish I believe. Or also a BITD VtoR race team with an extra chase truck or trailer making the trek. There will be plenty of teams from San Diego making the trek to both of those events. I know someone that can probably get it to Sacramento for a small fee as well. Then you could fly into to Sac and drive it to reno.

Runs great, I just loud, no AC and no radio so I don't want to drive it 9hrs. I guess I could just drive it.

My family and I are driving across the states to Vermont beginning August 17th. Could possibly head out through Reno, because we were planning to take the 80 most of the way anyway. If that date is good for you, let me know and we can work something out.

I have an intercom and headphone but it's illegal to drive with head phones . Always been worried about get pulled over for on thing and dealing with a fix it tickets Nazi. It's sounding more and more like the easiest option.
It's most likely gonna be the option I'll go with.
Thanks Brian but it's probably looking more like mid Sept.

I just play iHeart radio through earbuds on long trips. Not as visually evident and quick to remove if needed. Still kills a lot of the noise.

Last desperate attempt. Hahaha
Worth one last shot. Any one traveling from SD area to Reno/Tahoe area that would be able to tow a 5500 bronco?
Between the dates of 24Sep-1 Oct.
