Rollback Tow Truck Service DFW

Some cars can ride on a wheel-lift. Some shouldn’t. A rollback tow truck carries your vehicle with all four wheels off the ground — no tires on the pavement, no drivetrain spinning, no low bumper scraping a curb. If a dealer, your owner’s manual, or your own gut says the car needs to ride flat, that’s the truck to ask for. Call F5 Towing at 972-940-0060 and we’ll send one.

What a rollback tow truck actually is

A rollback is a flatbed truck with a hydraulic bed that tilts and slides back to the ground — that roll-back motion is where the name comes from. The bed drops into a gentle ramp, your vehicle is winched or driven up onto it, secured, and the bed levels off for the ride.

Rollback and flatbed describe the same idea: the whole vehicle sits up top, fully off the road. For the service-side overview, see our flatbed towing page, or the flatbed tow truck page for more on the equipment itself.

When a rollback is the right call

A wheel-lift drags two wheels along the ground. For plenty of cars that’s perfectly fine — for others it’s a repair bill in the making. Reach for a rollback when you’ve got:

• AWD or 4WD vehicles. These often do best up top — keeping all four wheels off the pavement helps protect the drivetrain. If you’re not sure, check your owner’s manual.
• Luxury, exotic, or sports cars. Little tolerance for any wear or contact, so they ride up top.
• Lowered or low-clearance cars. A wheel-lift can’t get underneath without scraping.
• Non-running or accident-damaged vehicles. The winch pulls them on; nothing has to turn or roll.
• Longer hauls where you’d rather minimize wear — pair it with our long-distance towing across the metroplex.

If your vehicle is on that list, a rollback is the damage-free option. Four wheels off the pavement means no drivetrain strain and no chewed-up front bumper.

How our rollback towing works

We keep the process simple and careful:

1. Tilt — the hydraulic bed slides back and angles down into a ramp.
2. Winch — the cable draws your vehicle up the bed, even if it won’t start.
3. Secure — your vehicle is secured carefully so nothing shifts on the road.
4. Level — the bed raises and levels for a stable ride.
5. Transport — your vehicle travels fully off the ground to wherever it’s headed.

Every vehicle gets secured properly before the truck moves an inch. That’s the step that protects your car.
