What Light Duty Towing Covers

“Light duty” is the towing industry’s classification for vehicles generally under 10,000 lbs, passenger cars, crossovers, minivans, and compact-to-midsize pickups. It’s the most common towing class on the road, and the one our fleet handles most often.

Light Duty Vehicles Include:

Sedans, hatchbacks, and coupes
Crossovers and compact-to-midsize SUVs
minivans
Small and midsize pickup trucks

When You’d Need Light Duty Towing

Your everyday vehicle broke down and needs to move to a shop, dealership, or home.
You’re coordinating a tow through an insurance provider, fleet manager, or dispatch service that specifically requests light duty equipment.
minivans
Small and midsize pickup trucks

If your vehicle is a full-size truck, van, or larger SUV, Medium Duty Towing is likely the better classification. For commercial trucks, buses, or RVs, see Heavy Duty Towing.

Light Duty Towing FAQs

What’s the difference between light duty and car towing?

They’re largely the same service under two different names. “Light duty” is the towing industry’s formal term for the vehicle weight class, generally cars, crossovers, minivans, and small pickups under 10,000 lbs, while “car towing” is the everyday way most drivers describe the same thing.

Does my SUV count as light duty or medium duty?

Most crossovers and compact-to-midsize SUVs fall under light duty. Larger, heavier SUVs and full-size trucks are typically classified as medium duty instead. If you’re not sure, tell us the make and model when you call and we’ll confirm.

Is light duty towing different from wheel lift or flatbed towing?

Light duty refers to the vehicle weight class, while wheel lift and flatbed refer to the towing method. A light duty vehicle can be towed using either method, depending on the situation.

Why does my vehicle need “light duty” equipment specifically?

Using equipment matched to your vehicle’s actual weight and size means a faster, more careful hookup, heavier equipment built for trucks or commercial vehicles isn’t necessary, and isn’t always the better fit, for a standard car or SUV.
