A tow bar is a device attached to the rear of a vehicle, designed to pull trailers or other vehicles. It typically consists of a strong metal frame and a hitch that connects to the trailer's coupling. Tow bars are commonly used for towing caravans, boats, or other recreational vehicles, making them essential for outdoor activities. When using a tow bar, it's important to ensure that the vehicle's towing capacity is not exceeded. This capacity is determined by the vehicle's manufacturer and can vary based on the model. Proper installation and maintenance of the tow bar are crucial for safe towing, preventing accidents and ensuring a smooth journey.
