What Is Light Duty Towing?
Light duty towing is the standard service for the vehicles most people drive every day — cars, sedans, SUVs, minivans, and most pickup trucks. If your vehicle weighs under about 10,000 lbs, it falls under light duty.
We use a wheel-lift or flatbed truck depending on what's safest for your vehicle. Either way, the goal is the same: get you and your car off the road quickly and to wherever you need to go — mechanic, dealership, body shop, or home.
Vehicles We Tow
- Sedans & coupes (Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, etc.)
- SUVs and crossovers
- Minivans and passenger vans
- Light-duty pickup trucks (F-150, Silverado 1500, RAM 1500, Tacoma, etc.)
- Electric and hybrid vehicles (we use flatbed for these)
- AWD vehicles (flatbed only — protects the drivetrain)
If you're not sure whether your vehicle is light duty, just call — we'll let you know on the phone.
