AWD & 4WD Towing in Brantford

All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles cannot be towed like an ordinary front-wheel-drive car. Roll one on the wrong wheels and you risk expensive damage to the transfer case, differentials, and transmission. Brantford Towing uses flatbeds and wheel dollies to move AWD and 4WD vehicles the safe way, with all four wheels off the ground, so your Subaru, Jeep, or SUV reaches the shop without a costly surprise.

Why AWD & 4WD Vehicles Need Flatbed Towing

AWD flatbed towing Brantford

In an all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle, the front and rear axles are mechanically linked through a transfer case or centre differential. If any wheels are left spinning on the road during a tow, that motion feeds back through the driveline and can burn out the coupling or overheat the transmission, even when the engine is off. Manufacturers are clear on this: most AWD and 4WD vehicles should be transported with every wheel off the pavement.

We follow that guidance every time. Our flatbeds carry the vehicle fully off the ground, and when a flatbed cannot reach a tight spot, we use a wheel-lift with dollies under the trailing wheels so nothing rotates. Either way, your drivetrain stays protected from pickup to drop-off.

AWD & 4WD Vehicles We Tow

We regularly transport:

  • Subaru Outback, Forester and Crosstrek
  • Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and other 4x4s
  • AWD SUVs and crossovers from Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Ford
  • Performance cars with full-time all-wheel drive
  • Pickup trucks with 4WD and part-time 4×4 systems

Broken Down in an AWD or 4×4? Here Is What Helps

To get you back on the road faster and protect your vehicle:

  • Do not let anyone flat-tow you with a rope or strap, as it can wreck the driveline
  • Move to a safe, level area and switch on your hazards
  • Know whether your vehicle is AWD, full-time 4WD, or part-time 4×4
  • Tell our dispatcher the make and model so we bring dollies if needed

Then call and we will send a flatbed built for the job.

Protect Your Drivetrain – Tow It Right

A new transfer case or all-wheel-drive transmission can cost thousands to replace, far more than a proper flatbed tow. That is why we never cut corners with AWD and 4WD vehicles. Our operators confirm your drivetrain type before loading and choose the method that keeps every wheel off the ground and your repair bill where it belongs.

FAQs – AWD & 4WD Towing Brantford

Answers for Brantford drivers of all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles about safe towing methods and how we protect your driveline.

Can I tow my AWD car with a regular wheel-lift truck?
Not safely. With two wheels left on the road, the driveline keeps turning and can damage the transfer case or transmission. We use a flatbed, or a wheel-lift with dollies, so no wheels rotate.
Is flat-towing my 4x4 behind another vehicle okay?
Only certain 4x4s with a true neutral in the transfer case can be flat-towed, and even then it must be set up correctly. When in doubt, a flatbed is always the safe choice, and that is what we bring.
Do you tow Subarus and other full-time AWD vehicles?
Yes. Full-time AWD vehicles like Subarus must have all four wheels off the ground, so we transport them on a flatbed every time.
My 4x4 is stuck in mud or a ditch - can you help?
We can. Our winching and recovery service can pull your 4×4 out, and then we will load it on a flatbed if it needs to go to a shop.
How much does AWD or 4WD towing cost in Brantford?
Cost depends on your location and drop-off distance. We provide an upfront, transparent quote before we load your vehicle.
