This 2009 Ford F450 XLT is a tow truck — sometimes called a wrecker — built to recover and transport disabled or damaged vehicles. Ford is one of the most widely recognised vehicle and commercial truck manufacturers in the world, supplying fleet, emergency, and work-service operators across a broad range of industries. This example is a used unit located in California and is offered at $38,500.
The truck is powered by Ford's 6.8-litre gasoline engine paired with an automatic transmission, and has covered 148,669 miles. It rides on a spring suspension and is fitted with hydraulic brakes, with 19.5-inch aluminium wheels completing the rolling gear. The chassis carries a gross vehicle weight rating of 16,500 lb, placing it firmly in the medium-duty recovery segment.
The recovery equipment centres on a Vulcan 881 auto-loader wrecker body, a well-regarded unit in the towing industry designed for wheel-lift and carrier recovery operations. An 8,000 lb winch is fitted for pulling and securing loads. Lighting has been fully upgraded to LED throughout, including an LED light bar, LED work lights, and LED side markers, meeting the visibility demands of roadside and highway recovery work.
Additional equipment includes a side tool box for storing recovery gear and hand tools, along with a basic towing equipment package that covers both front and rear car starts and air lines, allowing the operator to service vehicles with dead batteries or air brake systems directly from the truck. This is a California-titled truck.
