Rollback or Truck & trailer? hauling etc

Some cars won't even have tires at all or the people selling the cars will want to keep their tires. Good luck trying to get one of those cars on a trailer.



A roll back is the only way to go as far as picking up cars. With the tilt bed you can remove the tires and still drag the cars on if someone wants to keep their tires. If the wheels don't turn the hydraulic winch has the power to pull the car. Just make sure you buy a rollback with a steel deck.

awesome ya i just thought trailer was a good money saver right but id rather have a rollback seems safer

If I'm not mistaken, insurance will be a lot more for a rollback or any tow truck. I run a truck/trailer. Works great.
