AWD & 4WD Towing in Edmonton — Flatbed Drivetrain Protection
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles need a flatbed. Because their wheels are linked through the drivetrain, towing them with any wheels turning can damage the transfer case, differentials and transmission. Edmonton Tow Truck moves every AWD and 4WD vehicle fully off the ground, so your drivetrain is protected.

When AWD & 4WD Needs a Flatbed
Popular in Edmonton for good reason, all-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles handle our winters — but they need special care when towed. There is no true neutral that fully disconnects all four wheels, so dragging the vehicle spins the driveline and can cause expensive damage. A flatbed keeps every wheel supported and stationary.
- You drive a Subaru, Audi quattro, BMW xDrive or 4MATIC
- You have a 4×4 truck, Jeep or 4WD SUV
- Your vehicle is non-drivable after a breakdown or crash
- The manufacturer specifies flat-deck transport only
Why Wheels-Down Towing Damages AWD Vehicles
On an AWD or 4WD system, a turning wheel sends motion through the differentials and transfer case. Tow it wrong and you risk overheating and damaging those components — a repair far more costly than the tow. That is why we flatbed every all-wheel-drive vehicle, from a Subaru Outback to a lifted 4×4, and strap it at the correct points.

Flatbed vs Dolly for AWD — Which Is Safe?
A flatbed is always the safest choice for AWD and 4WD. If a flatbed is somehow unavailable, a wheel-lift with dollies under the remaining wheels can work as a last resort, but it is never our first choice. We send the flatbed and protect your driveline.
❓ FAQs – AWD & 4WD Towing in Edmonton
Why does my AWD car need a flatbed tow?

Yes. We carry flatbeds sized for 4×4 trucks, Jeeps and 4WD SUVs and secure them at the correct points.
