tow / towing Explanation: Primer: "You'll only see one petrol model in this top-10 list of towing vehicles. A diesel is infinitely more suited to dragging a load around." ili "A tow truck (also called a wrecker, a breakdown truck, recovery vehicle or a breakdown lorry) is a truck used to move disabled, improperly parked, impounded, or otherwise indisposed motor vehicles. This may involve recovering a vehicle damaged in an accident, returning one to a drivable surface in a mishap or inclement weather, or towing or transporting one via flatbed to a repair shop or other location." |
