Towing
Towing is a game mechanic that allows certain vehicles to move around other vehicles, without the need for larger equipment.
How To Tow a Vehicle
- Park the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle back to back and close together, relatively aligned, with their rear attachment point touching or very close.
- Go between the two vehicles and use
Shift + Eto open the interaction menu, then select the "Hitch/Unhitch Trailer" option to attach/separate the vehicles. If the option isn't listed, the vehicles are not positioned correctly.
Towed Weight
Each towable vehicle has a towed weight and each towing vehicle has a towing capacity. Vehicles move slower while towing a vehicle, depending on its weight. Towing vehicles can tow any towable vehicle, however they'll be very slow if they try to tow something beyond their weight capacity. The capacity isn't a hard threshold though, going over it doesn't apply any special penalty.

Tactics
Towable vehicles can be towed by any vehicle regardless of lock status, faction status, or if the vehicle is disabled or not. As such, using a towing vehicle to steal enemy towable vehicles is a viable strategy, as well as using a towing vehicle to recover a disabled towable vehicle.
