People still use the term 'hook and chain' out of habit, but modern hook-and-chain towing is really wheel-lift towing — the same basic idea, just evolved. Either way, the choice between flatbed and wheel-lift matters, and I want to break it down the way I explain it to callers.
No — virtually every modern electric vehicle manufacturer specifies flatbed-only towing. Wheel-lifting an EV can damage the battery or motor systems. We always flatbed EVs.
Slightly, in some cases. But for AWD, luxury, exotic, or lowered vehicles, the difference is negligible compared to the potential damage from using the wrong method.
We ask the year, make, model, and drive type of your vehicle, plus the pickup location. AWD and modern luxury vehicles default to flatbed; tight urban pickups sometimes go wheel-lift if the vehicle is compatible.
