Well, it looks like there is some competition for the title of “biggest wrecker.” No matter what, these are some great tow trucks.
First off, this all started out with a big yellow wrecker out of Freetown, Massechusetts. The owners call it “Big Wheels.” Here’s a write up on it: “Big Yellow Wrecker.”
According to its owner, Bob at Big Wheel Truck Sales, this wrecker has a twin steer tri-drive 85-tonne Jerr-Dan rotator.
Here’s a few more, though, which are big wreckers and nice to see all the unique styles:

The big size and big capability comes with a sizeable pricetag as well. According to Andy Saum, his truck’s cost is “Pushing near a million … It’s got all the bells and whistles. Is pretty awesome in action. Some serious raw power.”
