The 2026 Florida Tow Show opened April 9 at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace in the Disney Springs area, running through April 11, with approximately 200 exhibitors and 5,000 expected attendees, according to the show organizers. Historically the first towing and recovery show of the season, vendors use the Florida show to debut new products and services before the American Towman ShowPlace in Las Vegas later this month. Equipment categories on the floor include heavy-duty wreckers and rotators, carriers, underlifts, lighting, telematics platforms, and EV recovery tools. Last year's truck raffle winner received a 2024 Hino L6 extended cab equipped with a Miller Industries flatbed.
Operator takeaway
If you are in Orlando this week, walk the floor. The vendors releasing new products at this show set the equipment conversation for the rest of the year. If you are not, watch for TowShark coverage of what debuts.
