    Fly back for it or get el cheapo hotel rooms for 2 nights and break it up into 3 shorter drives.

    You'll enjoy the trip more. Solo driving 20 hours is brutal. We do a 26 hour to our hunting area every year and with 2/3 guys it's still terrible.

    20 hours straight towing at max tow capacity and payload capacity lol. That sounds FUCKING terrible. Your wife will force you to stop no matter what hahaha

    Fly back and pick up the other vehicle?

    I have moved twice as a kid and 6 times since moving out of my parents house. My wife and I are experts at this point. Straight up you don’t want to tow the other vehicle. You will have enough on your plate without the added aggravation of towing at max capacity and you definitely don’t want to be overloaded.

    My other suggestion is get a family member or friend drive it and help you load and unload. You can then pay for their flight back. Trust me you can’t do it all yourself no matter what you think.

    By the time you calculate a trailer. Occupants, fuel and gear you will be in the 7500ish pound mark.

    I towed this roughly 8 hours and I was over the limit with all my gear and crap. Pulled fine with 4.88s in 4th but I got 7 mpg
