towbar
Vehicle coupling beam
A towbar is a rigid metal bar attached to the rear of a vehicle for pulling trailers, caravans, or other vehicles.
Unlike a flexible tow rope, a towbar provides a fixed connection point: We had a towbar fitted so we could tow the boat.
Also called a tow hitch or trailer hitch.
