Medium Duty Towing

Medium duty towing is for when your employee gets the work van stuck after a delivery. These jobs are not for light duty tow trucks however. Up to an RV, medium duty towing is for those larger-than-average vehicles on the road!

Classes 4, 5, and 6 Are Medium-Duty

That's right; there are three classes when classifying medium duty towing. 
  1. Class 4: GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) ranges from 14,001 to 16,000 lbs (6,351 to 7,257 kg). An example of a truck in this class series would be a Dodge Ram 4500, or a GMC 4500 notice any similarities yet? zFord F-450 is another example of vehicle in this class. 
  2. Class 5: GVWR is between 16,001 to 19,500 lbs (7,258 to 8,845 kg). Examples in this class would include the GMC 5500, Ford F-550 and International TerraStar.
  3. Class 6: GWVR is from 19,501 to 26,000 lbs (8,846 to 11,793 kg). An example to give you would be the Ford F-650 but thats easy, how about the International Durastar or the GMC Topkick C6500.

Medium Duty Towing Tips

You see, towing a medium duty ride is not that far different from a regular car. However, these medium duty towing tips can help make towing RV's or other medium duty towing services seamless:

  1. Knowing the Gross Vehicle's Weight Ratio (GVWR) not just make and model can improve the prompt choice and delivery of the truck dispatched to your location. 
  2. Medium duty motor vehicles often carry load and equipment, which can affect this GVW so telling your dispatcher ahead of time can avoid them sending the wrong service truck. 
  3. Do you know the actual height, length, and width of your vehicle? Understanding these dimensions will help aid your dispatch agent in efficiently determining which service unit can handle your cars total capacity.
  4. If equipment is to be what the medium duty towing service is going to be for, then knowing the size is essential in determining appropriate solutions for preventing problems.
