Tow Truck

About this item

The Tow Truck is a vehicle released in the March 2022 Update of March 4th, 2022. Seating only two, it spawns at the Beach Town. Teased on March 3rd, 2022, the Tow Truck was added to the game due to being one of the biggest requests given by players.[2] It has the special ability of towing almost every vehicle in the game with its tow hook, even when the vehicle is being driven by other players. The Tow Truck appears to be inspired by the Pickup, as both vehicles share similar shape and design. The Tow Truck's most notable appearance traits are its front bumper and lights, its sleek and modern design, and low rear. It has a towing rope that is always equipped at the back. The Tow Truck's most prominent feature is that it can tow away any vehicle in the game using its hook, similar to how towing by using helicopters works. However, the Tow Truck can also tow vehicles when it is being towed, tow a car driven, and tow vehicles that cannot be towed by using helicopters (e.g., the Black Hawk and all other helicopters). Towing another vehicle slows the vehicle down due to the bonus weight. Additionally, the Tow Truck can also drag the Cargo Ship's crates, which was a bug but intentionally left in by the developers. However, players will not get any money from the crates. A driver whose vehicle are being towed by a Tow Truck can pop the truck's tires to unhook their vehicle. The time needed to hook onto a vehicle with somebody inside was also increased in a later update as its previous towing ability was considered overpowered. The Tow Truck has an acceptable top speed and reverse speed. However, its launch and acceleration are unexpectedly exceptional considering the vehicle type. In addition, the Tow Truck has great handling and off-roading performance, along with fair breaking, making it a vehicle easy to control. While towing another vehicle, its stats plummet significantly, the portion of which depends on the vehicle it is towing. Overall, the Tow Truck is a decent vehicle for its price. Despite so, most players purchase it for its towing ability rather than for its performance.
