This 2017 Ford F550 XL is a used tow truck — also commonly referred to as a wrecker — designed to recover, transport, and tow disabled or impounded vehicles. Ford is one of the most widely recognised commercial vehicle manufacturers in North America, producing a broad range of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks that serve industries including roadside assistance, municipal fleet operations, and commercial hauling.
Power comes from a Ford diesel engine paired with an automatic transmission, making it well suited to the demands of frequent towing and recovery work. The truck has accumulated 197,698 miles and carries an 18,000 lb gross vehicle weight rating, reflecting its heavy-duty commercial classification. It rides on 19.5-inch aluminium wheels and is fitted with hydraulic brakes and a spring ride suspension.
The recovery equipment fitted to this unit is a Vulcan 807 auto-loader wrecker with boom — a self-loading wheel-lift system that allows a single operator to recover a vehicle quickly and without manual hookup. Front and rear car starts are included along with air lines, enabling the operator to jump-start or supply air pressure to a disabled vehicle on scene. A side-mounted tool box provides onboard storage for recovery hardware and equipment.
Lighting has been fully upgraded to LED throughout, encompassing a roof-mounted LED light bar for high-visibility emergency signalling, LED work lights for illuminating the recovery area during night operations, and LED side markers for enhanced conspicuity. The truck is a California-registered vehicle. It is offered for sale at $48,800.
