tow bars

Vehicle pulling attachments

Tow bars are rigid metal bars used to connect a vehicle being towed to the towing vehicle.

Unlike tow straps or chains, tow bars maintain a fixed distance between vehicles and allow the towed vehicle's wheels to roll on the ground: We attached the tow bar to pull the broken-down car home.

They're common for flat-towing vehicles behind RVs.
