Medium-duty covers FHWA Classes 4 through 6, with Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) from 14,001 to 26,000 lbs. In practical terms:
Box trucks and cube vans
Isuzu NPR, Hino 195 and 258, Ford E-450 and F-550 box trucks, Freightliner M2 106, International CV. The backbone of local delivery. If your box truck stalls on Convoy Street during the lunch rush or overheats on I-15 through Miramar, we tow it, loaded or empty.
Delivery and cargo vans (large)
Ford Transit 350 HD, Mercedes Sprinter 3500, Ram ProMaster 3500. When a heavy-spec cargo van loaded with equipment exceeds light-duty towing capacity, medium-duty is the answer. Amazon DSP vans, FedEx route trucks, refrigerated delivery vans.
Shuttle vans and passenger buses (small)
Hotel shuttle vans, airport transport vehicles, church buses, employee shuttles. A breakdown creates an immediate operational problem. We prioritize commercial passenger vehicle tows and coordinate with your operations team.
Recreational vehicles (RVs)
Class C motorhomes (Ford E-450 or Chevy 4500 chassis), smaller Class A motorhomes, large travel trailers that need a dolly-and-tow approach. SD's RV culture is strong, between Campland on the Bay, Silver Strand RV lots, East County campgrounds, and snowbirds on I-8 and I-15, we handle RV tows year-round.
Work trucks and service vehicles
Utility trucks, bucket trucks, service body trucks, contractor vehicles loaded with tools and materials. Heavy when loaded and often break down in commercial zones, Kearny Mesa, Miramar, Otay Mesa industrial.
Flatbed and stake bed trucks
Ford F-550 and F-650 flatbeds, International 4300 stake beds, landscaping trucks. Cargo weight must be considered in the total tow weight.
