Heavy-Duty & Specialty Vehicle Towing Costs

Some vehicles need extra equipment or clearance. Typical ranges below (hook fee + $5/loaded mile):

We use flatbed tow trucks to safely move heavy-duty pickups, duallys, and lifted vehicles throughout Arizona.

What Affects Towing Cost?

• Distance: More miles = higher cost.
• Vehicle type: Larger vehicles may require flatbed towing.
• Type of tow: Flatbed vs wheel-lift.
• Vehicle condition: Missing wheels, locked steering, or no keys can add labor/equipment.
• Time of day: We don’t add after-hours or holiday surcharges.
• Location: Remote/off-highway recoveries may require emergency towing or winching.

According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, drivers should move vehicles to a safe location and use hazard signals before arranging a tow.
