There is a Brandon guy on Facebook goes by The Grey Truck. Hauls stuff for people. I messaged him about you. Don’t know his real name.

Take out a CAA membership and then get them to tow the vehicle to a dealer.

Rent a tow hitch from C&C and go pick it up with a friend.
A CAA membership won't get it back home this time but it will be useful in the future.

Pay for it

Call a proper towing company. Pay them to tow it back to Brandon. Hiring someone with a grey truck or doing it yourself is risky, as you won't be properly insured to do that. You can call a get a quote so you know how much the tow will cost you.
