ABSTRACT:
A system for towing of vehicles having automatic or manual transmissions without causing damage to any part of the drive train and for providing enhanced steerability to a towed vehicle. The vehicle towing system includes a tow bearing device for isolating rotation of a wheel and attached tire from a wheel hub coupled to the automatic transmission and the drive train, thereby enabling the vehicle to be towed efficiently and safely on all wheels without damage to the automatic transmission or drive train, while still making use of the suspension/steering system of the vehicle being towed. The vehicle towing system also includes a steer bar device attachable with or without the tow bearing device to the wheel and attached tire, or to the wheel hub, to provide enhanced, affirmative steering to the towed vehicle, responsive to forces generated by a towing vehicle.
