Flatbed Towing — EV, AWD & Luxury Safe

For Teslas, Rivians, AWD Subarus, 4WD trucks, motorcycles, and luxury vehicles. All four wheels off the ground = zero drivetrain damage.

Use flatbed when: EV, AWD, 4WD, motorcycle, lowered, classic, or luxury vehicle. The damage from wheel-lifting an AWD Subaru or Tesla can run $2,000–$10,000 to repair. Flatbed adds ~20–30% to the tow cost. Math is simple.
