| '''[[wp:Towing|Towing]]''' refers to an ability in Grand Theft Auto games to tow or pull an object, specifically a trailer or vehicle, using another vehicle. The feature is first made possible in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], when semi-trailer trucks possess the ability to pull trailers, but only one game, [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], similarly offers such a feature.

| == Description ==
| |
| Attachments with trailers simply require the player reverse their vehicle into the front of a trailer until the camera readjusts itself to center on both the hauler and the trailer, confirming the coupling is complete. When pulling a trailer, the vehicle will possess poorer performance due to the need to pull extra weight, especially with regards to steering as the vehicle is now longer.

| | |
| In GTA 2, the [[Truck Cab]] and the [[Truck Cab SX]] represent the game's only two semi-trailer trucks, and are also the only vehicles in GTA 2 capable of attaching to and pulling trailers.
| |
| | |
| All in all, the game features three forms of trailers, one of which is somewhat useful in actual gameplay.

| | |
| === GTA San Andreas ===
| |
| | |
| GTA San Andreas is the only game after GTA 2 to reintroduced the ability to pull loads. The game mechanics of attaching to and pulling a trailer is roughly the same as in GTA 2, but trailers may decouple from a vehicle using a specific command or if physical force (i.e. [[wp:Jackknifing|jackknifing]], dislodging due to rough terrains or jumps, excessive speed, etc.) is subjected to the trailer. However, there is no single button to detach the trailers. There is a glitch in the PS2 version where taking a picture of the attachment will detach the trailers but the glitch is fixed in subsequent versions.
| |
| | |
| Along with the game's three semi-trailer trucks (the [[Linerunner]], [[Tanker]] and [[Roadtrain]]), the game also introduces a different range of vehicles with roughly the same capability, including:
| |
| | |
| * The [[Tow Truck]], which employs an adjustable boom at the back to pull any large vehicle.
| |
| * The [[Tractor]], which uses an adjustable [[wp:tow hitch|tow hitch]] to pull smaller hauls or large vehicles.
| |
| * The [[Utility Van]] and [[Baggage Handler|Baggage]], which feature a stationary tow hitch to pull smaller hauls.
| |
| | |
| The trailers themselves consist of a more varied range of items, some of which are not available unless they are spawned using a third-party trailer. In total, GTA San Andreas features a eight types of trailers: Four semi-trailers and four specialized trailers.
