Flatbed vs Wheel-Lift Towing
Flatbed towing carries all four wheels off the ground and is the safest option for AWD, 4WD, luxury, lowered, and electric vehicles. Wheel-lift is fine for many standard front- or rear-wheel-drive cars on short hauls.
How each method works
A flatbed loads your whole vehicle onto a level platform. A wheel-lift raises two wheels while the other two roll on the road.
When flatbed is the right call
| Vehicle | Recommended |
|---|---|
| AWD / 4WD | Flatbed |
| Luxury / lowered | Flatbed |
| EV | Flatbed |
| Standard FWD/RWD, short haul | Wheel-lift OK |
