ZL1 1LE being towed on the side of the road
It has not happened to me, but I am concerned if I break down on the road and a flatbed carrier shows up, that the ramp angle will be too steep and damage my Splitter. Does anyone have experience with being towed (unplanned)?
The Manual says to adjust the Strut Spring. Reading the procedure, that is not realistic with a tow truck on the side of the road. Thanks! |

I had my car picked up on a flat bed when the oil pump failed, the guy knew what he was doing.
He put pieces of wood in front of the ramp to lift the front of the car up before it hit the incline.

Had my 2022 non-ILE ZL1 towed. Same experience as post above. No damage.

+1 to both above. When my drive shaft snapped, the guy new what car he was towing, brought extra 2x8 wood to easy the flatbed to road gap, it was perfect! I did tell the dispatch person when I called. My car is very low in front and they need to be sure it doesn't scrap the tow bed while being loaded.
