SUV Towing Ottawa

SUV towing in Ottawa handles vehicles that weigh significantly more than a standard sedan. A Honda Civic weighs about 1,400 kg. A Toyota Highlander weighs 2,100 kg. A Chevy Tahoe weighs over 2,500 kg. That extra weight matters when a tow truck is loading, securing, and transporting your vehicle. Ontario Towing uses trucks rated for the size and weight of every SUV on Ottawa roads.

AWD SUVs need flatbed towing

Most SUVs sold in Ottawa today come with all-wheel drive. The RAV4, CRV, Tucson, Equinox, Forester, and dozens of others. Every one of these vehicles must go on a flatbed. If a tow company wheel-lifts your AWD SUV and lets two wheels roll on the pavement, the transfer case and rear differential spin without lubrication. That repair costs $2,000 to $5,000 and it is completely preventable by using the right towing method.
