ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for towing a vehicle is disclosed having a first member mounted in a stowed position under the undercarriage of the tow vehicle and a second member telescopingly mounted within the first member and movable to an extended position out of the first member when the first member is released from its stowed position. A cross member is mounted at the free end of said second member and transverse thereto and has a towing vehicle wheel support at each end for receiving the front wheels of a vehicle to be towed. Straps are associated with each wheel support to secure the wheels of the vehicle to be towed to the wheel supports. In this manner, a front wheel drive vehicle can be towed without effecting the odometer and the apparatus can be stored under the undercarriage of the tow vehicle when not in use.
