AWD & 4WD Towing
AWD & 4WD Towing in Oakville – Flatbed Drivetrain Protection
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles need a flatbed. Because their wheels are linked through the drivetrain, towing them with any wheels turning can damage the transfer case, differentials and transmission. Towing Oakville moves every AWD and 4WD vehicle fully off the ground.
When AWD & 4WD Needs a Flatbed
Flatbed transport is the safe choice when:
- You drive a Subaru, Audi quattro, BMW xDrive or Mercedes 4MATIC
- You have a 4×4 truck, Jeep or a 4WD SUV
- Your vehicle is non-drivable after a breakdown or crash
- The manufacturer specifies flat-deck transport only
Why Wheels-Down Towing Causes Damage
On an all-wheel-drive system there is no true neutral that fully disconnects the wheels. Dragging the vehicle spins the driveline, which can overheat and damage expensive components. A flatbed removes that risk by keeping every wheel supported.
Trucks, SUVs & Performance Cars
From a Subaru Outback to a lifted 4×4 or an AWD performance car, our operators strap at the correct points and protect your drivetrain from pickup to drop-off.
