Wrecker (M816) vs Wrecker (M936A2) in Pictures

[70deuce]

Here is a series of pictures that shows the comparison of two nice looking wreckers. M816 vs M936A2. Not a whole lot of difference until you look at them from the front.

A few more. Also rewound about 50 feet of the front winch line while I had a nice resistance to pull.

I would take an M816 over the 936a2 any day 1st it will out run (on a grade) the 936a2 and will out winch it too.
I have used both in the"real world" the hydraulic winch will not pull as hard before it goes into bypass and stops pulling.
I would use an 936/a1 same engine as 816 .

Talk about wrecker ****! How do I explain to my wife we need an 816 too?

Nice trucks! Are those steel plates for extra weight between the drivers side front fender and the bumper on the M936A2? I've had wreckers get a little light on the front end when lift towing before...

Yes, they are on both sides.

There are 6 steel plates stacked behind each end of the bumper. Can't see them weighing more than 300 lbs each side.

That one is my favorite wrecker. The other one is my favorite too. They both look great.
