| '''[[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. Players have the option of detaching trailers after attachment.
| |
| | |
| === GTA 2 ===
| |
| All in all, GTA 2 features three forms of trailers, one of which is somewhat useful in actual gameplay. 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. Players may detach a trailer using the attack key or button.
| |
| | |
| Trailers sustain damage like other vehicles, and also emit [[fire]] the same way when heavily damage, even exploding when destroyed, posing a danger to the player if they are pulling a trailer that is in bad condition.

| |
| | |
| 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 trainer. In total, GTA San Andreas features a eight types of trailers: Four semi-trailers and four specialized trailers.
| |
| | |
| All trailers in general are capable of exploding entirely if severely damaged or flipped over, but specialized trailers have several other peculiarities, including functional headlights and taillights that light up at night or in a dark location, and the ability to emit smoke if sufficiently damaged.
