What is a "tow truck"?
A tow truck is a vehicle used to transport or tow other vehicles that are broken down, parked illegally, or involved in accidents. It typically has a mechanism, like a hook or flatbed, to lift or pull the disabled vehicle onto its platform. The design allows for easy loading and secure transport of the towed vehicle, making them an essential tool for clearing roads or assisting drivers in need. Tow trucks come in different types, depending on the method of towing and the size of the vehicle being towed.
