20 Best Vehicles For Towing (2022 Updated)

a very nice kit from tamiya , well posted on to me from a German supplier at what was a good price or so i thought having bought from Germany before. i had forgotten we were out of the common market so import duties cost me more, my fault , but i am happy with the kit.

A very well designed model, by a well respected manufacturer, assembly is well described in the comprehensive instructions. A lot of enjoyment to be had building and operating this model.

big build,big truck plenty to keep me occupied for some weeks,one of my best buys would recomend to any 1/14 model truck fan.

Only reason it’s not 5 stars because I bought this toy as Christmas gift & haven’t seen it in action. The price was $20 lower than any other retailer & the speed of shipping was great. Never heard of Blain’s before this purchase but will be happy to make another purchase when I’m ready.

It’s good, built well and seems sturdy. The only slight disappointment is for the price of it, you’d think they could’ve included lights and sound and a person, like they did in the similarly priced ambulance.

I’ve seen this toy and read that it pulls up to 200 lbs. This toy doesn’t even pull anything that weighs more than 5 lbs. Not sure if we bought a defected one, but it won’t pull anything that has some weight on it.

So my 4 year old just pushes the buttons. And just watch it drive off with nothing to tow. Glad we didn’t spend too much money on it. But this product isn’t worth the money.

The entertainment value lasted about 8 hours. Once the kids showed everyone what it’s towing capabilities were the kids lost interest. It might make a comeback in a few months. It definitely can tow a lot of weight (over 100 lbs) very short distances.

Tries to climb walls. Works best on hard surfaces not carpet.

I bought this truck for my son on Christmas and we are just now opening to use it. He saw it on tv and really wanted it. He is 6 by the way. To say the least it didn’t work at all. He didn’t move one bit.

All it did was make noise. I followed the directions to a tee. My son was so upset which made me mad. So I hope I can still return it because it does not do anything at all.

I had a little trouble getting the quick connect for the brakes joined, and one hole had a little slag that had to be cleaned out. But this is solid! Easy to move on level. I hauled my car almost 6,000 miles, a lot of it in the mountains, and it was great! I like how it follows my motorhome, and the brakes worked great.

I had several envious neighbors in the RV parks!.

A floor jack and a friend sure helped the assemble. Air tools too. Read instructions re: loading ramps. I got a bit over zealous with the air tools and they wouldn’t move very well. READ THE instructions.

Don’t over tighten. works fine now. looking forward to a road test tomorrow.

I ordered the Kar Kaddy SS with the impression from the web site that it would be simple to assemble a few parts. I have worked all day on it and am not near completing the assembly. Also, some of the parts are very difficult to install and requires a lot of lifting, bending, stooping, and crawling underneath.

If I had know this I would have traveled the 150 miles to a dealer and purchased one already assembled.

great quality in perfect condition. wheels spin flawlessly making it a vehicle even a two year old can tell is of better quality ( my grandson ignores the cheaper plastic trucks and goes to this every time).

rides quietly too. no comparison to other brands of toy cars/trucks. Hess is the best.

Perfect. a great product and these toy trucks will last for many years. We’re not babying or putting this away for the future. My grandson is playing with it and enjoying it.

Definitely worth the effort to install. It is very easy to use. Love having the car with us now when we RV

This tow bar seems to be made of great quality. Blue ox is supposed to be the best in the business. Like how I am able to store the tow bar on my vehicle and between towing.

Use it to tow my Mini Cooper behind my RV

I purchased this to replace a Demco Commander that I used for several years. This tow bar is lighter and as sturdy as my Commander. The mounting end was set to a 1. 5″ rise and it was difficult to remove the bolts to reverse it to drop 1.

5″ but I was able to do so. I also had to remove the bar that holds the electrical cable and reposition it from below the tow arm to above it. Demco provides multiple rails to allow this so it was easy enough to do.

My Commander was in good shape (Demco builds sturdy products), but it was difficult to unlatch it from my tow vehicle if not perfectly flat. This new bar can be released on a non-level surface so there is no longer a need to take a mallet and screwdriver and pound the baseplate pins out.

I haven’t tried the quick release yet, but Demco invented the tech to do this so I am confident it will work as it should. The tow cables that come with Demco tow bars are sturdy. They mount on the tow bar with clips that hold them in place but still allow the cables to pull in either direction, something I like about Demco tow bars.

I plan to sell my old Commander and this one should last as long as I need it to.

So this little bar is amazing. I’ve pulled big trucks cross country with it. Pros: Very well built. Solid. Not nearly as heavy as expected. Very easy to hook to truck doing the towing Cons:I feel like it needs a secondary lock to keep bars extended.

If vehicles are taller or shorter than towing vehicle it’s a bit unnerving to pull. Adapters, could use some other adapters for more convenient use. Thoughts: It works great, but I think it should be adjustable in height to accommodate a more straight pull.

Adapters could be built to attach to the truck. I home built both items for convenience and think it’s marvelous.

Another great product from Demco. I purchased this tow bar to tow a Honda CRV. Fit, finish,and function is top drawer. The instructions were well written. It is really easy to connect and un-connect the car.

Best of all and the reason why I purchased the Dominator is it’s light weight. Love, love, love it.

Everything in the picture came in the box. No worn or broken/bent parts. All parts fit like they belonged on this setup. Very happy with the entire unit. It’s a earlier model with a pin and bail used in the stow position which to me is more secure than the plunger latch.

It can’t pop open and flop around. Love it.

Great option for us. We wanted it to lock on to the back of the RV and stay there. It works slick as can be. I am 76 and hoped to never have to lift a heavy tow bar again, this does the trick. Easy set up even if tow vehicle isn’t perfectly straight.

Great!.

Easy install and simple to operate.

Omg – these are the best things ever if you have a toddler who loves monster trucks. Since purchasing these, he rarely lets them out of his sight. They are durable and haven’t chipped paint or broke a wheel.

We will be getting more.

Absolutely adore these trucks for my son. We order them all the time as our store is always out of a good selection. They can withstand all the smashes and bashes that he puts on them with other monster trucks as well as going down his monster truck ramp and into his monster truck dirt.

my house is turning into a monster truck asylum.

Grandson loves big wheels and TMNT so this was great for him. He is 4. Great price ( not inflated like some listings). Reasonable shipping cost. Great shipping turnaround.

I had it installed by an RV and Jeep specialist. All went smoothly, from the base plate to the tow bar to the electrical hook-up. I’m confident, having made close to a dozen trips in the past three months.

My Jeep follows the RV solidly and the hook-up and un-hitch has proven to be easy to manage; and I am a senior citizen. I made a study of a number of tow products and I’m very happy that I chose the Blue Ox! It’s worth the cost, honestly.

Blue Ox products are superior. and I believe them to be the best in the RV flat towing industry. I can find no fault with this product, and in fact would recommend that anyone who needs a flat towing bar buy Blue Ox equipment.

I do though, have a big problem with sellers who use bait and switch tactics on their pricing. I looked at this product one evening. which we all know is tracked by IP addresses. and went back to buy the next morning only to discover that the price had increased by almost $100.

Not good at all. Oh well. lesson learned.

Since I was replacing a CHEAP tow bar that had failed I had extremely high expectations. I was not disappointed. I am especially impressed with how quick I can hook it up. Considering the alternative this product is worth every dollar.

Straight off, if you purchase the Traxxas Hoss expect to have to upgrade both front and rear CVs to metal because the plastic ones will break, quick. On top of that the only metal CV’s that I’ve found that will last more than 20 minutes are the Traxxas brand, which WILL COST YOU around A THIRD OF THE TOTAL RC RETAIL PRICE.

I have watched other videos where people bought the Hoss, and they also had to replace the CV’s within just a couple drives. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM so I don’t think its acceptable for the manufacturer to supply parts that are known to break when you use a feature they designed.

I have broken 6 CV’s so far and 4 of them broke when I used self righting mode(the others broke when I gave it full throttle up hill). Besides this the car is virtually indestructible which is why I still gave it 2 stars (although it does like to roll over).

Bottom line is you are going to have to spend another hundred-fifty in order to have it be a reliable RC.

Alright, well. I bought it on 5/25/22. Used it for not even a full 5000 mah battery on 5/26/22 before the motor started cogging and overheating. I’m not even talking bashing, I was just getting a feel for it.

Took it to my local hobby shop to take a look and they said the moment they powered it on the motor and esc got so hot it went into overheat protection. Contacted Traxxas for warranty since it wasn’t even 24 hours until it catastrophically failed.

Well it’s 6/10/22 as I write this and I’m still waiting for the replacement parts. All I can say is it’s the first RC purchase that I’ve been incredibly disappointed with. $500 to use it for less than an hour and be waiting over a month for parts.

If you’re looking at a Hoss, I’d honestly spend the extra and get a Maxx, or go with a different company. It was fun, but not $500 for 45 minutes levels of fun.

Absolutely the worst customer service I’ve EVER dealt with. I purchased this for my son. The rear tire hub broke after 10 mins of use. They said it never happens and they’re surprised. They shipped a new part.

We fixed it and after 10 mins of he same day the gears in the motor break. WTH. I ship it back they fix it AGAIN with plastic gears after I asked to replace with metal. Get it back and the same day the front axle breaks in half.

CS told me i should’ve bought the metal parts instead. I said I paid $500 how about you building a better product and stop blaming the customer. THEY CLERLY Don’t stand behind their products. The CSR told me it was my son’s driving style and not the design of the parts.

I asked if he’d ever watch their videos of how rugged it was. What a JOKE! I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone EVER.

Bought it just for the body as I converted it into an rc crawler with my own southern general lee theme. Its very fun.

This large scale Fast & Furious diecast model is incredible. Great detail and unique. If your a Fast & Furious fan, you have to have this truck.

Very nice style for a Tow truck, seems as a model T Hot Rod But it’s a Peterbilt Rig cab over converted into a Hot Rod looking Tow truck Very slick and for the scale size 1:24 Very rare and unique item to add to any type of collection.

DO NOT BUY!!!! My son received this tow truck for his bday and he was so happy and excited not many remote control tow trucks out there. Well after putting in new batteries in both the truck and remote, the remote loses connectivity.

I literally have to remove the batteries from the remote for them to sync up again. I have read and seen other reviews and this seems to be the same issue everyone is experiencing. This is frustrating to be taking the batteries out like every 5 mins.

DO NOT BUY!!!!.

My boys are ages 2 and 4 years old and they haven’t put this toy down since they got it. They both adore playing with trucks and vehicles of all kinds but a tow truck is one that we dont have in our collection so I think that its uniqueness is what really draws them to it.

It is realistic and has a hook and pulley system on the back just like a real tow truck and it actually works. The truck makes sounds and you can open the doors and the hood to see the engine inside.

I’m glad to have this set in our collection and I recommend it to any child who loves trucks. So much fun.

My son really like the truck, he loves to play with the truck and with the car attached. The car can move back and forward. The truck has sound that makes the game more realistic and fun. My kid used other brand cars to play with this toy pretending that they are all broken.

For me, the quality isn’t not great but looks like the kids doesn’t care about that. He loves his toy.

My son is going to absolutely love this. First off, this toy is WAY bigger than I was expecting. When I walked out to a 3 foot package from target on my front porch I was pretty confused. My son loves everything trucks and cars and, in my opinion, this tow truck blows his other tow truck toys out of the water.

Not only is it large, it has working lights and sounds, and a lot of moving parts which is great for kids like him who love to figure out how things work. Great value for the price. If you’re thinking about this toy for a kid who loves trucks, think no further.

I included a photo of it on the hood of my car to try to show the size.

Out of my 6 kids, 5 of them played with this! My oldest is 16 and obviously didn’t have interest, but my 13yo, 9yo,6yo,4yo and 2yo ALL loved this. They played with this for hours on end. The sounds of this were not loud loud either like most toys.

They only wished that the towing part actually came out to put other cars in it. Other than that, they loved it! I highly recommend this for boys and girls!.

An excellent construction kit, absorbing and time consuming probably takes about 20 hours to put together. I find these very relaxing to build. Lego was new when I was a child and a light up brick was about as sophisticated as it got.

I dont have the imagination to make something like this on my own but thankfully it comes with very detailed step by step instructions and I have really enjoyed building this. I have previously done the Land Rover & Mack Truck kits.

I’m 80% done with this set, and its really great! It’s my first pneumatic set, so I’m really enjoying the new functions. Personally I wasn’t a huge fan of the look, but I do like it better in person.

I’ve also decided to not apply the more OTT stickers. Not to knock this set, but I do wish I could buy pneumatic parts or other sets on the store. I would def buy this set again.

This truck gives you a lot for the money. Tons of working functions and the pneumatics work great and are fun to play with. The non pneumatic functions seem tedious to play with in comparison, but they are still nice to have and add a lot.

It might seem like a lot of money for a toy truck, but the mechanical nature the of this truck, especially the pneumatics, makes it something really quite special. I’m really impressed with it as an adult and I’m sure my nephew will go nuts when he sees it! Easily one of the best products Lego has released in a long time.

For being called a Steel Classic, this Truck is mostly plastic. The Cab is Steel, but everything else is plastic. I think if it was just called a Tonka Truck, it would make more sense. The wheels spin nicely, the tow arm moves up and down, the latch to keep it up or down works most of the time.

The stickers are almost all placed correctly. But the plastic on the end of the tow arm is a bit weak and when trying to tow other vehicles, a slight bump will drop the load. I think i was just expecting more from a Steel Classics series item.

It feels like a knockoff Tonka, or like it was outsourced to save money.

I was so excited to see the Steel Classic Tonkas available! Having fond memories of the total metal Tonkas we had played with. Well I suppose this is as classic as it will ever get. There still is a lot of plastic features on it, but the tow truck brings such excitement to my grandson and he was not disappointed one bit.

And that is what matters. This is a high quality, well built and no doubt sturdy, long lasting toy. Not as I remember, but much better than any others we have tried that are mostly plastic.

Tonka has done an amazing job with this toy truck. It’s large easy for kids to grasp. Metal design makes it durable , paint is so cute ! The details are realistic and functional. You can actually tow another toy with it.

The wheels are bigger so Roa easy for kids to move it all around in various material.

My boys love anything with a trailer. When this arrived they ripped it open and started setting up a construction site right away. They loved the detail on the character. It’s nice to find the smaller scale items with the detail and accessories that tend to only come with the large vehicles.

My son loves the 1/64 size and is constantly asking for items in that size to add to his collection, but wants them to have the same stuff as the larger scale items. This fit that bill! I received the product for free through the Mattel Play, Rate & Review Program in exchange for my honest opinion.

The one I received to do as a review its okay. I love the trailer and truck. The other pieces I think could of been a lot better. The surf boards need decals on them or something. They are just red and the sand is bright red also.

The dude laying in the red chair is also red. Needs to break up the colors. The surfer dude is all orange. But he is okay. The wave is cute. I think the parts needs more detail just like the surf truck and trailer.

My almost 4 year old loves playing with these. They are a little smaller than expected and the little people and signs that come with it are VERY small. Definitely heed the 3+ warning. He was a little confused why the cement mixer won’t spin but was super excited when he discovered they connect and he can haul it.

It is also really nice because he can connect and disconnect them himself so he can truly do some independent play and not have to constantly ask for help.

My great grandson 15 months old has had two of these trucks in less than 4 months and both of them have had the wheels come off. The first one the wheel wouldn’t stay on at all the second one the wheel stays on for a little while it’s not a very good design.

THIS IS AMAZING IT IS GREAT ON THE TRAIL I AM BUILDING WITH MY FRIEND AND IT IS A GREAT CRAWLER. ITS BATTERY LIFE IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES INTS NOT LIKE I TIMED IT BUT YA IT IS A GREAT TRUCK AND I RECOMEND IT FOR HOBBYERS.

Love this truck! Great product, and great company to buy it from. Look forward to my next purchase.

Pretty widely know as the best crawler out there. I was tempted to get the axial but quick trip to the local hobby shop set me straight lol.
