This 2019 Hino 258 is a used tow truck — sometimes called a wrecker or rollback, depending on configuration — designed to recover, transport, and haul disabled or impounded vehicles. Hino is a Japanese commercial truck manufacturer with a long-standing presence in medium- and heavy-duty trucking, building vehicles widely used in freight, logistics, and vocational applications including towing and recovery.
The truck is powered by a J08 diesel engine producing 260 horsepower and paired with an Allison automatic transmission, a combination well regarded in vocational truck applications for reliability and ease of operation. The chassis carries a gross vehicle weight rating of 25,500 pounds, placing it in the medium-duty class and making it capable of handling a broad range of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small commercial units.
The body is equipped with a Century 21.5-foot steel carrier bed, a purpose-built flatbed platform used to load and transport vehicles fully off the ground. The carrier measures 102 inches in width and is fitted with slide-in L-arms for wheel-lift capability, allowing the operator to recover vehicles that cannot be driven or rolled onto the deck under their own power. An 8,000-pound winch is also fitted, providing the pulling capacity needed to draw vehicles onto the bed or recover units that are off-road or otherwise immobilised.
Additional equipment includes an LED lightbar for high-visibility warning signalling, two sets of work lights for operating in low-light or nighttime conditions, and two toolboxes for storing straps, chains, and recovery gear. The truck is located in Virginia, USA, and is being offered in used condition.
