Heavy-Duty Towing
Specialized towing for large trucks, RVs, commercial vehicles, and oversized equipment.

What Is Heavy-Duty Towing?
Heavy-duty towing is designed for vehicles that exceed the capacity of standard tow trucks. This includes large pickup trucks, box trucks, RVs, buses, commercial vehicles, and construction equipment. These vehicles require specialized equipment, stronger cables, and more powerful tow trucks to move safely. At TrueWay Encinitas Towing, we have the heavy-duty equipment and experienced operators needed to handle these challenging jobs.
Heavy-duty towing is not just about size. It also involves understanding weight distribution, proper rigging techniques, and safety protocols that protect both the vehicle being towed and other drivers on the road. Our team is trained to handle complex towing situations, from loaded commercial trucks to fully equipped RVs. We approach every job with professionalism and attention to detail.
Types of Vehicles We Tow with Heavy-Duty Equipment
Our heavy-duty towing service handles a wide range of large vehicles and equipment. Here are some of the most common types:
- Large pickup trucks: Heavy-duty pickups like Ford F-350s, Chevy Silverado 3500s, and Ram 3500s require specialized towing equipment due to their size and weight.
- RVs and motorhomes: Whether you have a Class A, Class B, or Class C RV, we have the equipment to tow it safely to your destination or a repair facility.
- Box trucks and delivery vans: Commercial vehicles like box trucks, delivery vans, and cargo trucks need heavy-duty towing when they break down or are involved in accidents.
- Buses and shuttles: We tow school buses, tour buses, and shuttle vans for schools, companies, and private owners.
- Construction equipment: Tractors, excavators, loaders, and other construction machinery can be towed using our specialized heavy-duty equipment.
- Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers: We handle towing for semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and other large commercial vehicles.
If you have a vehicle that does not fit into these categories but is too large for standard towing, call us at (760) 456-4064. We will assess your situation and let you know if our heavy-duty towing service can help.
Our Heavy-Duty Towing Equipment
Heavy-duty towing requires more than just a bigger truck. It requires specialized equipment designed to handle extreme weight and challenging conditions. Our fleet includes heavy-duty tow trucks equipped with powerful winches, reinforced cables, and advanced lifting systems. These trucks can handle vehicles weighing up to 80,000 pounds or more, depending on the configuration.
We also use specialized rigging techniques to distribute weight evenly and prevent damage during transport. Whether we are towing a fully loaded RV or recovering a commercial truck from a ditch, our equipment is up to the task. Safety is our top priority, and we follow strict protocols to ensure every job is completed without incident.
Common Situations That Require Heavy-Duty Towing
Heavy-duty towing is needed in many situations. Here are some of the most common reasons drivers call us:
- Mechanical breakdowns: When a large vehicle breaks down on the highway or at a job site, it needs to be towed to a repair facility as quickly as possible.
- Accidents: Commercial vehicles involved in accidents often require heavy-duty towing to move them off the road safely. We work with law enforcement and insurance companies to coordinate these recoveries.
- Overheating engines: RVs and large trucks are prone to overheating, especially in hot weather or when climbing steep grades. If your vehicle cannot be fixed on the spot, we will tow it to a repair shop.
- Transmission failures: Transmission problems in heavy vehicles often require immediate towing to prevent further damage.
- Flat tires: While we offer roadside assistance for tire changes, some large vehicles require specialized equipment that can only be handled at a shop.
We also provide accident recovery and winching for heavy vehicles that have gone off the road or are stuck in difficult terrain. No matter how complex the situation, our team has the expertise and equipment to handle it.
