Question 9

What's the difference between flatbed and wheel-lift towing?

Accepted Answer

With flatbed towing, your entire vehicle gets transported on a level surface, which works best for specialty, damaged, or AWD cars. In wheel-lift towing, one axle's wheels get lifted off the ground while the opposite wheels continue to contact the pavement. Although both towing methods ensure vehicle security, flatbed towing provides greater safety and is typically suggested for longer trips or more delicate vehicles.
