About this machine

This 2018 Freightliner Business Class Tow Truck — sometimes referred to as a wrecker — is a heavy-duty recovery vehicle built to tow, recover, and transport disabled or accident-involved vehicles across a wide range of commercial and roadside service applications. Freightliner is one of North America's most established commercial truck manufacturers, producing heavy- and medium-duty vehicles for freight, fleet, and specialty vocational markets.

The truck is built on a Freightliner Business Class chassis with a 132-inch BBC extra-cab configuration, a 200-inch wheelbase, and a 108-inch cab-to-axle measurement. Power comes from a 300 HP engine paired to an Allison RDS 2500 six-speed automatic transmission, with an exhaust brake included for controlled deceleration. The drivetrain includes a hotshift PTO and a PTO switch. The front axle is rated at 10,000 lbs and the rear axle at 19,000 lbs with a 4.88 gear ratio, supported by an 18,000 lb Airliner rear air-ride suspension. GVWR is listed at 26,000 lbs. The chassis also features air ride cab mounts, an air brake package with air dryer, an engine block heater, and air connections running to the end of the frame with glad hands, reflecting a factory tractor package. Six factory-mounted switches and a dedicated PTO switch are included in the cab.

The cab is equipped with air-ride seating for the driver, a single passenger seat, and a rear bench seat. Dual 26-inch Hadley air horns, power heated mirrors, power windows and locks, idle-up, cruise control, and an AM/FM CD player with Bluetooth round out the cab appointments. An external visor is fitted. Rubber is 255/70R22.5 tires on 22.5 x 8.25 aluminum wheels, with tread depth measured at 11/32 on the front and 10/32 on the rear. Fuel capacity is provided by dual 50-gallon aluminum tanks. A three-piece chrome bumper and a wide load light bar are also fitted.

The recovery equipment is a Century 2465 integrated boom and underlift unit mounted to an aluminum tubular pylon. Boom capacity is 24,000 lbs retracted and 10,000 lbs extended, with a maximum operating angle of 40 degrees, a maximum hook height of 147 inches, and a maximum reach past the tailboard at minimum elevation of 72 inches. The underlift is rated at 9,000 lbs fully retracted with forks and 7,000 lbs fully extended with forks; with L-arms fitted the rating is 6,000 lbs in either position. Underlift reach to the center of the fork holder at ground level is 42 inches retracted and 76 inches extended. Positive tilt is 28 degrees and negative tilt is 12 degrees. The tow rating is 20,000 lbs.

Each of the two planetary winches is rated at 12,000 lbs on the first layer of drum, spooled with 7/16-inch x 150-foot IWRC cable. The unit features a tandem pump with split control valves, dual control stations, hydraulic rear jacks with flipper feet, winch cable tensioners, winch free-spool handles, low-pull D-rings, and 6,000 lb Vulcan wheel retainers with dedicated storage pockets.
