Used 2019 Rollback Trucks For Sale

A used 2019 rollback truck is a strong fit for towing companies, repossession work, dealership transport, auction runs, and general vehicle recovery. In this model year, many buyers will find medium-duty chassis such as the Peterbilt 337, Hino 268, Freightliner M2 106, and Ford F-650 paired with 20 to 22 foot carriers from Jerr-Dan, Century, Chevron, or similar builders. Most 2019 rollback trucks in this class are set up as low-profile or extra-low-profile carriers, often called LCG or XLP beds, which make loading lower-clearance cars, crossovers, and light trucks easier while improving deck angle.

The bed and recovery equipment matter as much as the chassis. A typical 2019 rollback tow truck will have a 102-inch wide steel or aluminum deck, a hydraulic slide-and-tilt carrier, an 8,000 lb class winch, and a 3,500 lb hydraulic wheel lift. Many are spec'd with removable rails, dual-angle or right-approach decks, stationary headboards, side toolboxes, work lights, and wireless winch remotes. Buyers should pay attention to deck rating versus actual use. A 6-ton carrier handles a broad mix of passenger vehicles and small commercial units, but the truck's real-world usefulness depends on wheelbase, bed design, wheel-lift geometry, and how the weight distributes across the steer and drive axles when towing a second vehicle.

On the chassis side, 2019 rollback trucks commonly use diesel engines from Cummins, Hino, or Ford matched to Allison automatic transmissions. GVWR often lands around 25,950 to 26,000 lb, which is attractive for operators trying to stay in a non-CDL configuration, though local regulations, endorsements, and combined operating weight still need to be verified. Air brakes and air ride suspension are common on higher-spec units, while low-profile 19.5 or 22.5 tires help keep deck height down. If the truck will spend most of its time in city service, look closely at turning radius, cab visibility, and storage layout. For longer runs between auctions or dealer lots, ride quality, fuel capacity, seating, and cab condition become more important.

Condition is where a used 2019 rollback truck separates itself. Check the carrier subframe, deck crossmembers, pivot points, hydraulic cylinders, hoses, cable condition, winch function, and wheel-lift wear pads. Inspect the bed surface for hard use from equipment loading, not just cosmetic rust. On the chassis, service records, brake life, suspension condition, PTO operation, and hours of idle time can tell more than odometer miles alone. A well-maintained 2019 rollback can still offer an excellent balance of emissions-era reliability, modern lighting and safety features, and lower acquisition cost than a newer truck, especially for fleets that need a versatile car carrier flatbed tow truck without stepping into a brand-new purchase.
