How is ‘777 Truck for Wrecker/Lowboy
1 321
500
821
150 Ton Lowboy/777 Wrecker Conversion’ useful?

In the US and in Canada, we talk about a tow truck and in Canada,
we talk about 'une dépaneuse' and 'une remorqueuse'. The 'dépaneuse'
helps you out and the 'remorqueuse' tows your vehicle away. Both
the 'dépaneuse' and the 'remorqueuse' do the same thing. We don't
use wreckers.
