tow bar
Vehicle pulling link
A tow bar is a rigid metal bar connecting a towing vehicle to whatever it's pulling—a trailer, broken-down car, or aircraft being moved on the ground.
Unlike a tow rope or chain, a tow bar keeps a fixed distance between vehicles and allows for more controlled steering: We hooked up the tow bar and pulled the camper out of the mud.
