I am of course 800 miles away in Montana.

Just plain bad time of year to break down like that and be far away from dad. Tho I've rescued my dad and mom on more than one occasion. They're pushing 80 and I'm on the downslope toward 60. Reminds me of the Bonnie Rait tune Nick of Time.
Buying twin axle 7200 & 9600 GVW trailers is expensive anymore. Glad I got my 9600 back in 2017.
Then you still need to find a rig big enough to haul it.
If I was a lot closer I'd offer to help but I'm halfway across the country in New England.
If her mechanic says it's not a good idea to empty the cab and bed out so the only extra weight is the driver and then drive it to him empty... he likely has an idea what's wrong and he might be able to fix it if it's not driven any noticeable distance.
