You would need a flatbed if your vehicle is 4-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or has a flat tire opposite the drive axle (example: you have a flat front on a rear wheel drive car). If you have excessive damage from a crash, or if you have a vehicle on the highway with a rear wheel drive. A vehicle with soil impacts may require a flatbed as well.
