I also want to add... If I buy this, I plan to disconnect the driveshaft and tow it directly on the road with an extremely beefy tow bar. Pulling truck is a F-350 super duty dually. Tow distance is about 750 miles. The bare chassis weighs 6300 lbs. Any ideas here or caution messages?
Thanks, Bill

I have towed a 2800# Toyota truck behind an F350 with a tow bar a few times. I had no available braking from the Toyota. F350 was unladen, so going wasn't a problem, stopping took only a little care. However on tight turns, I could feel the Toyota pushing the rear of the F350 to the outside of the turn, and this was on a dry road. I was glad I didn't have to do this in the rain.
In your case, I would try pretty hard to
1 Get some of the F53 weight onto the back of the f350
and
2 Find a way to actuate the F53 brakes.
