Tow truck or the tow truck beater

[Dogologist]

Any difference between these two variants

[Torque]

The beater is slower...prob cause its cheaper

[Dogologist]

Does this affect the cars value that are going to be towed

Is this true? I thought it was only a cosmetic difference.. If this true, I'm glad I sprung for the non-beater..

Highly doubt that.. the value of the cars is dependent on the cars (and the parts they have).. and my non-beater is picking up garbage cars like Issi, Zion, Vigero, Rusty Rebel, Duke, etc.. they scrap for 30~40k and I'm pretty sure these are the same cars that would be picked up with a beater tow truck.. so it's not like the non-beater fetches different cars, so I doubt there'd be a difference in car value..

I have seen clean variant owners comment about getting cars that worths 60-70k and the rusty variant owners always gets cars that worths less than 50k but im not sure how true it is

It's always the same: incentivizing the player to spend more money.

"For only $450k more you can get this shiny new truck instead of this beat up, crappy one."

Someone probably got confused with the double tow week cause I have a clean tow truck and my scraps are anywhere from 31~40k (62~80k if you double this).. I'm not getting any neat or special cars that are more lucrative.. same old crap.. I think the Penumbra is the probably best car I've towed so far..

This is exactly why.. it's no different than selecting which type of interior design you want for your Agency or Autoshop.. it's a cosmetic preference players can pay more for..
