AWD & 4WD Towing
Towing Oakville provides flatbed AWD and 4WD towing that protects your drivetrain on every job.
AWD & 4WD Towing in Oakville – Flatbed Transport That Protects Your Drivetrain
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles need special care when towed. Because their wheels are linked through the drivetrain, towing them with any wheels turning can damage the transfer case, differentials and transmission. At Towing Oakville, we move every AWD and 4WD vehicle on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground – the method the manufacturers recommend.
When AWD & 4WD Vehicles Need a Flatbed
- You drive a Subaru, Audi quattro, BMW xDrive or Mercedes 4MATIC
- You have a 4×4 truck, Jeep, or a 4WD SUV like a 4Runner or RAV4
- Your vehicle is non-drivable after a breakdown or collision
- The manufacturer specifies flat-deck transport only
Why Wheels-Down Towing Damages AWD Vehicles
On an all-wheel-drive system there is no true neutral that fully disconnects the wheels. If the vehicle is dragged with any wheels rotating, the driveline spins and can overheat or damage expensive components. A flatbed removes that risk entirely by keeping every wheel stationary and supported, so your vehicle arrives exactly as it left.
Not sure whether your all-wheel-drive vehicle needs a flatbed? These quick answers cover what Oakville AWD and 4WD owners ask us most.
Why does my AWD car need a flatbed tow?
AWD systems link all four wheels through the drivetrain with no true neutral. Towing with wheels turning can damage the transfer case and transmission, so a flatbed that lifts all wheels off the ground is the safe method.
Can you tow a 4x4 truck or Jeep on a flatbed?
Yes. We carry flatbeds sized for 4×4 trucks, Jeeps and 4WD SUVs, and we secure them at the correct points to protect the drivetrain.
Is it ever safe to tow AWD with wheels down?
Only with dollies under the remaining wheels as a last resort. A flatbed is always the safest choice, and it is what we use for AWD and 4WD in Oakville.
Which AWD vehicles do you tow?
All makes, including Subaru, Audi quattro, BMW xDrive, Mercedes 4MATIC, Toyota 4Runner and RAV4, Honda CR-V, and full-size 4×4 trucks.
