What Is Flatbed Towing?
Flatbed towing uses a hydraulically operated flat platform that tilts to ground level, allowing your vehicle to be loaded completely — all four wheels off the road. Once secured, the platform levels out and your car rides safely on the bed for the entire trip.
This is the safest and most recommended method for the vast majority of vehicles, and it's the primary method used by Fast Hook Towing LLC across the Inland Empire.
Why Flatbed Is the Safest Choice
No Drivetrain Risk
When a wheel-lift or hook-and-chain tow truck hauls your car, two wheels stay on the pavement. This puts rotational stress on your transmission and drivetrain — especially dangerous for AWD and 4WD vehicles. Flatbed eliminates this risk entirely.
Works for Non-Running Vehicles
If your car won't start, won't go into neutral, or has major mechanical damage, a flatbed can load it without any drivetrain engagement. It's winched onto the platform safely.
No Additional Mileage or Wear
Because your vehicle isn't touching the road, there's zero additional wear on tires, brakes, wheel bearings, or suspension components during transport.
Which Vehicles Need Flatbed Towing?
While we recommend flatbed for all vehicles, it's especially critical for:
- AWD & 4WD vehicles — Subaru, Jeep, Land Rover, Toyota 4Runner, Ford F-150 4x4, etc.
- Luxury vehicles — BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Tesla
- Low-clearance sports cars — Corvette, Mustang GT500, Porsche, Lamborghini
- Classic & collector cars — Any vintage or restored vehicle
- Non-running vehicles — Won't start, seized engine, no neutral
- Flood or fire-damaged vehicles

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flatbed towing cost in the Inland Empire?
Pricing depends on distance and vehicle type. We provide a clear, upfront quote over the phone before dispatching — no surprise fees at delivery.
How long does a flatbed tow take to arrive?
Our average response time across the Inland Empire is 20–35 minutes. We dispatch immediately upon booking.
Can you tow my AWD car on a regular tow truck?
We strongly recommend against it. Towing an AWD vehicle on a wheel-lift can damage the transfer case and transmission. Always use a flatbed for AWD/4WD.

If you drive an AWD, 4WD, luxury, exotic, or classic vehicle — always request a flatbed. When in doubt, call us and we'll advise based on your specific car.
Is flatbed towing more expensive than wheel-lift?
Flatbed is slightly higher in cost, but the protection it provides far outweighs the difference — especially if you drive an AWD or valuable vehicle.
