Toyota recovery and towing
Toyota, assembled locally by Indus Motor and widely imported from Japan, covers everything on Pakistani roads from the Corolla and Yaris to the Hilux, Fortuner, Prado and Land Cruiser. Its hybrids, CVT automatics and full-time 4x4s should always travel on a flatbed, and the heavy SUVs and Coaster need a heavier recovery truck.
- 16 Toyota models covered
- 12 need a flatbed
- Open 24/7 across Pakistan

Toyota models
- Toyota CorollaPetrol, front-wheel drive, manual, automatic, CVTManual Corollas can be front-wheel lifted with the gearbox in neutral. Automatic and CVT versions, including the Altis X, should travel on a flatbed so the gearbox is not driven without lubrication.
- Toyota Corolla CrossHybrid, front-wheel drive, CVTAs a hybrid with an electronic CVT, the Corolla Cross must go on a flatbed: turning the front wheels with the system off can spin the motor-generators and damage the hybrid transaxle.
- Toyota YarisPetrol, front-wheel drive, manual, CVTManual Yaris sedans can be front-wheel lifted in neutral. CVT versions must go on a flatbed, as towing with the drive wheels turning can damage the CVT.
- Toyota VitzPetrol, front-wheel drive, automatic, CVTBecause almost every imported Vitz is automatic or CVT, it is recovered on a flatbed to protect the gearbox.
- Toyota PassoPetrol, front-wheel drive, automatic, CVTThe Passo is automatic or CVT, so it is carried on a flatbed rather than wheel-lifted.
- Toyota AquaHybrid, front-wheel drive, CVTAs a hybrid with an electronic CVT, the Aqua must travel on a flatbed; towing with the front wheels on the ground can spin the motor-generators and damage the hybrid transaxle.
- Toyota PriusHybrid, front-wheel drive, CVTThe Prius must always go on a flatbed: its hybrid transaxle can be damaged if the front wheels are turned while the system is off.
- Toyota PremioPetrol, front-wheel drive, automatic, CVTImported Premios are automatic or CVT, so they are recovered on a flatbed.
- Toyota Mark XPetrol, rear-wheel drive, automaticThe Mark X is a rear-wheel-drive automatic, so it goes on a flatbed. Lowered cars or those with body kits need a low-angle flatbed or loading ramps to avoid scraping the bumper.
- Toyota Land Cruiser PradoDiesel, 4x4, manual, automaticThe Prado has full-time four-wheel drive, so it must be carried on a flatbed; lifting one axle would force the centre differential and transfer case. Its weight calls for a heavier flatbed.
- Toyota Land CruiserPetrol, 4x4, automaticThe Land Cruiser has full-time 4x4 and an automatic gearbox and weighs well over 2.5 tonnes, so it is recovered on a heavy-duty flatbed only.
- Toyota FortunerDiesel, 4x4, manual, automaticDiesel Fortuners are part-time 4x4 and most are automatic, so they go on a flatbed. The petrol 4x2 versions are rear-wheel drive automatics and also travel on a flatbed.
- Toyota HiluxDiesel, 4x4, manual, automaticHilux 4x4s are recovered on a flatbed to protect the transfer case and drivetrain, as are all automatics. Older manual 4x2 single cabs are rear-wheel drive and can be rear-wheel lifted with the load bed empty.
- Toyota HiaceDiesel, rear-wheel drive, manual, automaticManual Hiace vans are rear-wheel drive and can be lifted by the rear wheels with a medium-duty wrecker; automatics and damaged vans go on a heavy flatbed.
- Toyota CoasterDiesel, rear-wheel drive, manualThe Coaster needs a heavy-duty underlift wrecker, usually lifting the front axle with the propeller shaft disconnected so the gearbox is not back-driven. It is too large for a standard car flatbed.
- Toyota CamryHybrid, front-wheel drive, CVTThe Camry Hybrid's electronic CVT means it must travel on a flatbed; towing on the front wheels can damage the hybrid transaxle. Older petrol automatics also go on a flatbed.
