Pickup Truck Towing Ottawa

Pickup truck towing in Ottawa handles everything from a mid-size Tacoma to a one-ton RAM 3500 dually. Pickup trucks are the most common work vehicle on Ottawa roads. Contractors, landscapers, plumbers, electricians, and construction workers all depend on their trucks. When one breaks down, the job site grinds to a halt. Ontario Towing gets your truck off the road and to a mechanic fast.

Weight matters with pickup truck towing

A Ford Ranger weighs about 2,000 kg empty. An F-150 weighs 2,300 kg. An F-250 Super Duty weighs 3,200 kg. And a loaded F-350 with tools, materials, and a contractor cap can top 4,500 kg. The tow truck needs to be rated for that weight. Ontario Towing matches the right truck to your pickup so the tow is safe and your truck arrives without additional problems.

Common pickup truck breakdowns in Ottawa

The calls we get most often for pickups are dead batteries in winter (trucks draw more power to start bigger engines), flat tires from construction debris on industrial roads around Walkley and Sheffield, and overheating in summer when trucks are pulling trailers to cottages north of the city. We also tow pickups after collisions on the 417, where trucks are involved in a disproportionate number of rear-end accidents during winter storms.
