GTA 5 Pulling Favors: Complete Guide at U4GM

Andrew736

Pulling Favors gives Franklin Clinton one of his first required Strangers and Freaks encounters, but it doesn't feel like a grand adventure. It's a favour for an old friend. Players using GTA 5 Accounts will find the mission on Forum Drive in Strawberry, where Tonya Wiggins is waiting outside a liquor store. Her boyfriend, JB Bradshaw, is in no shape to work his towing shift. Tonya's worried about their income and home, so she asks Franklin to step in. He isn't pleased, yet he agrees.

Getting the Tow Truck

The practical work starts almost at once. Franklin drives Tonya to the Davis Sheriff Impound, where a heavy tow truck is ready for collection. This short trip matters because it introduces the vehicle and gives players a moment to understand its weight. It turns slowly, takes longer to stop, and won't slip through traffic like Franklin's usual car. Once they climb inside, a dispatch message sends them toward a deserted four-door sedan near San Andreas Avenue and Legion Square. There's no chase here. The real test is learning the towing controls without making a mess of the pickup.

Connecting the Sedan

At the marked location, don't rush straight at the car. Drive past it, leave enough room, then reverse until the tow truck's rear crane lines up with the sedan's front bumper. Small steering changes work better than sharp turns. When the truck is close and centred, lower the hook to secure the car. Players often lose time by approaching at an awkward angle, though the mission is forgiving enough to allow another attempt. The wet streets can make positioning feel a little loose, so ease off the accelerator and let the truck settle before attaching the vehicle.

Quick Job Reference

Stage	Location	Main Task
Truck collection	Davis Sheriff Impound	Enter the tow truck
Vehicle pickup	Legion Square area	Align and lower the hook
Delivery	Davis Sheriff Impound	Release the sedan in the marker

The drive back looks simple, but the attached sedan changes how the truck handles. Take wider corners and avoid clipping traffic. Hard swerves can send the load sideways, while careless contact may pull it free. Tonya talks during the journey, and her comments give the job more weight than a routine vehicle recovery. You hear how long she and JB have struggled, along with her hope that this one shift might keep their small operation going. It's messy and personal, which suits Franklin's early life in Los Santos.

Delivering the Vehicle

Back at the impound yard, follow the marker and bring the sedan into the marked drop-off space. Keep the truck straight, stop once the vehicle is properly inside, and lower it carefully. Releasing the hook completes the assignment and opens the way to later towing work with Tonya. For players building progress through GTA V Accounts, the mission also serves as a useful lesson in slower, precision-based driving. Franklin hasn't solved Tonya and JB's problems, of course. He's simply covered one shift, earned a little goodwill, and moved another step deeper into the lives surrounding him.
