'''[[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. | '''[[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.

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. | GTA San Andreas is the only game after GTA 2 to reintroduced the ability to pull loads.

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. | 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.

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. | |||
