'''Towing''' refers to an ability in Grand Theft Auto games to tow or pull an object, specifically a trailer or vehicle, using another vehicle. This ability was 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. | '''Towing''' refers to an ability in Grand Theft Auto games to tow or pull an object, specifically a trailer or vehicle, using another vehicle.

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

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 if physical force (i.e. [[wp:Jackknifing|jackknifing]], dislodging due to rough terrains or jumps, excessive speed, etc.) is applied. | GTA San Andreas is the only game after GTA 2 to reintroduced the ability to pull loads.
