Article SummaryX

To tow a car, start by running a tow strap through the vehicle’s recovery point, which you’ll find on the front frame. Once you’ve secured the strap, position the other vehicle in front of the broken down one, which should also have someone driving it, and attach the strap to the hook on the back. After you’ve secured the strap, move the towing vehicle forward until the strap is tight so you can inspect it for damage. If it still looks secure, make sure the broken down vehicle is in neutral, and begin towing it slowly. You should also tell the driver of the car being towed to apply the brakes regularly to prevent it from crashing into the back of the other car. If you need to move a vehicle over a longer distance, get someone to help you push it into a trailer while another person sits in the car to steer and apply the brake.
