Professional medium-duty towing from Pinnacle Towing Service, available 24/7.
Call (619) 648-1403Medium-duty towing handles vehicles between 10,001 and 26,000 pounds GVWR — that's your box trucks, larger RVs, commercial delivery vehicles, and heavy-duty pickups that regular tow trucks can't move. When you're dealing with a Class 6 truck loaded with equipment or a 35-foot motorhome that's broken down on Julian's mountain roads, standard equipment won't cut it. These jobs require hydraulic systems with serious lifting capacity and operators who understand weight distribution.
The process starts with assessing the vehicle's actual weight and condition. We bring rotator units or heavy-duty wreckers equipped with 25-ton winches and hydraulic booms that can handle the load without damaging your vehicle or our equipment. For disabled commercial trucks, we secure the load first, then position our rig for either a lift or winch recovery depending on the situation. RVs get special attention — we check propane systems, secure loose items inside, and ensure the hitch assembly won't fail during transport.
Our medium-duty fleet runs specialized equipment designed for East County's challenging terrain. We're talking about trucks with all-wheel drive capabilities, extended boom reach for vehicles stuck down embankments, and rigging that works on fire roads where city operators won't even attempt a recovery. Every driver on our crew has worked commercial equipment and knows the difference between safely moving a loaded delivery truck versus yanking on it until something breaks.
Response time matters when you've got a commercial vehicle blocking traffic or an RV stranded with a family inside. We average 30 minutes to most East County locations because we know every back road between Dehesa and Descanso. When we roll up, we're ready to work — not figure out how your vehicle comes apart.
