My wife and I have a 2002 Ford truck with a 7.3 diesel engine. I keep the truck in good shape with regular maintenance. Also I keep our 2010 travel trailer in good shape too with a regular maintenance program.
While it has been mostly problem free in 180K miles, I believe if we have a mechanical problem on the road, it will be with our truck as it is getting to be old like me!
Which of the Good Sams Emergency Roadside Assistance programs provide the best coverage for tow vehicles such as ours? Thanks in advance.

There are 2 plans:
1. basic plan
2. Platinum
The Platinum cost a few dollars more but offers more services. The cost difference is insignificant and is well worth the few dollars to go with the Platinum Plan. One tow or break down will cost more than your yearly Platinum plan. My trailer broke a rear spring and had to be wenched up onto a flat bed trailer. The nearest repair facility was 30 miles away, cost of tow was $1200!!!!! which my Platinum plan paid for. No cost to me:)
