What is a characteristic of Class 5 medium duty trucks?

  1. They can tow light vehicles under 6,000 pounds.

  2. They are commonly used for towing tractors and trailers.

  3. They can tow vehicles weighing 19,501 pounds and more.

  4. They can tow trucks, buses, and vans above 14,000 pounds.

The correct answer is: They can tow trucks, buses, and vans above 14,000 pounds.

Class 5 medium duty trucks are characterized by their capability to tow heavier vehicles, specifically those exceeding 14,000 pounds, which includes trucks, buses, and vans. This classification highlights their robust build and enhanced towing capacity, making them suitable for commercial towing operations that require moving larger vehicles. The other options either refer to lower weight limits or different classes of vehicles altogether, which do not align with the capabilities associated with Class 5 trucks. Understanding these specifications is crucial for anyone operating in the towing industry, as it helps in selecting the proper vehicle for specific towing tasks.
