Unlike traditional towing methods that may leave two wheels on the road, flatbed towing uses a specialized truck with a flat platform that carries the entire vehicle. This approach keeps all four wheels off the ground during transport, making it a suitable option for many vehicles that should not be towed with their wheels rolling on the road.


Flatbed Towing vs. Regular Towing

Traditional towing methods often use a wheel-lift system or other equipment to raise part of a vehicle while the remaining wheels stay on the road. These methods can be effective for many standard towing situations, depending on the vehicle and manufacturer's recommendations.


Flatbed towing takes a different approach by loading the entire vehicle onto a level platform. Because the vehicle's wheels remain off the ground, this method can help reduce tire wear and avoid potential drivetrain damage associated with an unsuitable towing method.


Flatbed towing is often preferred for vehicles with significant damage, certain all-wheel-drive systems, low ground clearance, or specific transportation requirements. However, the best method depends on your vehicle's design, condition, and manufacturer's towing instructions.


When Do You Need Flatbed Towing?

Although flatbed towing isn't necessary for every situation, it can offer important advantages in certain circumstances. You may want to consider flatbed towing when:

  • Your Vehicle Has Collision Damage: A damaged vehicle may have wheel, suspension, or drivetrain problems that make conventional towing unsuitable.
  • You Drive an All-Wheel-Drive Vehicle: Many all-wheel-drive vehicles require all wheels to remain off the road during transport to help prevent drivetrain damage.
  • Your Car Has Low Ground Clearance: Sports cars and lowered vehicles may benefit from a flatbed's loading setup when appropriate equipment and procedures are used.
  • Your Vehicle Has Mechanical Problems: Certain transmission or drivetrain issues may require the vehicle to be transported without its wheels rolling.
  • You Own a Specialty or Classic Vehicle: A flatbed can be a practical option for transporting valuable, collectible, or modified vehicles with extra attention to handling.
  • Your Vehicle Cannot Roll Normally: Vehicles with certain tire, wheel, or suspension problems may require specialized loading equipment and procedures.


Always let your towing provider know about any damage or special requirements before the vehicle is loaded.


What Types of Vehicles Can Be Flatbed Towed?

Flatbed towing can accommodate a wide range of vehicles, depending on the tow truck's capacity and the vehicle's dimensions and weight. Common examples include:

  • Passenger cars, sedans, and hatchbacks
  • SUVs and crossover vehicles
  • Pickup trucks and certain larger trucks
  • Sports cars and low-clearance vehicles
  • Classic, collector, and specialty cars
  • Certain vans and commercial vehicles
  • Motorcycles, when suitable equipment and securement methods are available
