depending on the AWD system it would either try to roll off the claw, being that the boom is moving up rotating the truck and making tension between the tow truck and grounded wheels of the vehicle, or when i move the truck forward it would have about 6in of play and then lock and I would feel the tow truck not be able to go freely. the 2nd one is common of American AWD the 1st one is common of European. Now I said I would notice these things because I know what I'm doing. Your average jersey tow guy might just think your truck is extra heavy. but I wouldn't worry about that with a company that does private property impounds, especially not the one I work for. I'd be more weary of AAA and cities that have they're own towing division. AAA is notorious for inexperienced drivers with little to no mechanical knowledge, and city tow trucks can say "well the damage we cause is your fault because you shouldn't have parked there to begin with". I have no such luxury
