Why Sun City Towing

4x4 Off-Road Recovery in South Lake Tahoe, Done Right

Off-road recovery takes planning. The vehicle usually has to be winched out before it can be loaded, sometimes from a long way off the road. We plan the pull, rig to proper recovery points, and move slowly so the vehicle comes out in one piece. Some trails are too far in or too rough for a tow truck, and if so we will tell you honestly.

When to call us for 4×4 off-road recovery

  • Stuck in mud, snow or sand on a dirt road
  • High-centered on a rock or log
  • Slid off a forest road
  • A 4×4 broke down on a trail
  • A lifted truck or Jeep needs a flatbed afterward

How it works

  1. Send us a map pin or GPS coordinates if you can.
  2. Call (530) 725-5386 and tell us the vehicle and how it is stuck.
  3. We winch the vehicle to solid ground.
  4. If it is not safe to drive, we load it on a flatbed.

Before you drive in winter, check road conditions and chain controls on Caltrans QuickMap.

4×4 Off-Road Recovery FAQs

Yes, usually on a flatbed.
