This 2020 Freightliner Business Class Tow Truck — sometimes called a wrecker — is a purpose-built vehicle for recovering, loading, and transporting disabled or impounded vehicles. Freightliner is one of North America's most established commercial truck manufacturers, producing a broad range of medium- and heavy-duty trucks for freight, vocational, and specialty applications including the towing and recovery industry. This unit is offered used, located in Kansas, USA, and is priced at $64,900.
The truck is powered by a Cummins engine rated at 260 horsepower and paired with an Allison automatic transmission, a combination widely favored in vocational trucking for its durability and ease of operation. Braking is handled by an air brake system, and an exhaust brake provides additional retardation — particularly useful when descending grades with a loaded carrier. Air suspension contributes to a smoother ride and helps protect both the truck chassis and transported vehicles. Aluminum wheels are fitted, reducing unsprung weight while offering corrosion resistance.
The cab is equipped with power windows, power locks, and power mirrors, along with heated mirrors for cold-weather visibility. Additional driver amenities include tilt steering, cruise control, and — given the exhaust brake noted separately — a well-appointed specification for long-distance recovery work.
The primary recovery platform is a Vulcan 21.5-foot steel low-center-of-gravity (LCG) carrier, a well-regarded piece of towing equipment designed to load vehicles with minimal ground clearance. The carrier features a rail-and-ramp (R/R) configuration and wheel lift (W/L) capability, giving the operator flexibility for different recovery scenarios. Two 60-inch toolboxes are mounted on the unit, providing substantial organized storage for rigging hardware and recovery equipment. A Code 4 LED light bar in red, blue, and amber is installed for scene visibility and traffic warning compliance. Recovery rigging included with the truck consists of a V-chain and J-hooks, allowing the operator to begin work immediately upon delivery.
