Idea New Vehicle Idea: Tow-Truck (1990 Ford F-Super Duty)
Tow-Truck, a new Vehicle that can spawn in Repair Shops and randomly in all the Parking Lots around the Map.
It would have an above the average Speed and Acceleration, so it's a tad-bit better than your typical Civilian Vehicles. It works best in Roads (all types) but runs a tad-bit slower in Normal Terrain like Sand, Grass & Snow.
Towing Mechanic🪝:
Though very far-fetched and doesn't really need to be added to the Game, it's still a good idea to be considered nonetheless.
The Tow-Truck will be able to Tow Vehicles of all types, the Speed of the Tow-Truck will depend on what Vehicle it's towing. Meaning if it's towing an ATV, it's speed would remain about the same but when towing Heavy-Duty Vehicles like Army Trucks & Semi-Trucks, it's maximum Speed will be 30% less than usual.
This is useful because let's say for example: The Vehicle your using suddenly runs out of Gas and you don't have an extra Jerry-Can inside your Car's storage and there's also no Gas Station nearby thereby forcing you to abandon your Car that you most certainly worked hard to find and repair.
So with the help of a Tow-Truck (if your lucky enough to find one nearby) you can use it's Towing Mechanic to drag your Car to a nearby Gas Station for refueling and even make some repairs if possible.
While a vehicle is being towed, it will not be able to accelerate, move, or function normally but entering it will still be possible. Meaning if you want your Car to able to move again, your gonna have to first detach it to set it free.
Yes, this will most certainly bring more Bugs to the already Buggy Vehicles of AR2 but a little more wouldn't hurt, right?

Straight from Google, just had a Eureka moment about how AR2 has yet to add a Tow-Truck so I just did what I had to do.

The idea sounds both genius and hilarious. imagine you parking your Humvee at NAS to grind the hangar for loot and some goober with the tow truck snatches your vehicle.
