Tow truck operators struggle to find and purchase tow trucks because dealerships do not offer integrated tow truck kits, forcing them to source chassis and towing equipment separately.

Car dealerships (e.g., Ford) do not sell fully integrated tow trucks; buyers have to independently find a cab and chassis and then source tow kit add-ons from separate suppliers, which is complicated and time-consuming.
