Remco ???
One another board it was suggested that Remco was out of business and some areas like drive shaft disconnects were picked up by other companies. What's the story? I found the Remco website amusing ...

Not everyone has $15,000 or whatever to invest in the purchase of another vehicle that is supposedly towable. A car you already own can often be made towable for a few thousand and serve the purpose very nicely.
Trialot,
I most certainly agree about not having the extra money to buy an "extra" vehicle that's just for towing. My thoughts are to look forward enough to make a decision on what kind of daily driver we'd like that, would ALSO be flat towable. That way, we end up with only ONE vehicle.
We've had, in the past, certain vehicles that we'd love to have kept (a really nice, 2WD Grand Cherokee Overland with the 5.7L Hemi) but, as stated, I'm not a fan of Remco pumps and, at the time, no one on this planet would touch a 5" ALUMINUM driveshaft to even think about making a disconnect for it.
And, knowing that we would be towing whatever vehicle we'd purchase, we said good by to the Grand and, picked up a brand new Honda CRV. What a change!!!!
What worked out for about a year. We then sold it and, picked up our present toad, an '11 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 Extended Cab.
