    Has anyone dolly towed a Chevy Spark? Clearance between the shock tower and tire is minimal. The adjustable Tow master straps are difficult to secure without wearing against the tower. If anyone is aware of better straps I would appreciate the info. Thanks.

    I have a 2018 F150 and would like to have 12v+ going to the battery while driving. What do I have to do? Dealership says plug is working but it doesn't provide any juice. Check the fuse and it's okay Going to a different dealership but thought I would ask.
