Mod expands and improves towing, which is added to the game. Supported version: 41.x [hr] [/hr]

More details:

Support for mods that add new cars

All mods that are added cars, but which have not been updated to support trailers, will work with trailers!

Added "Tow bar" item and the ability to tow a car like a trailer

Now you can tow a car and stay with unbroken trunk! ** Towing with a rope is possible without an item (like every car have tow rope)

Special towing vehicle

Added support for tow truck. The tow truck can attach a car to a hook. It is also easier to use a tow truckto remove burnt-out cars from the road. And you can flip upright the car!

!The mod does not add a tow truck to the game! Here's an example of a mod that adds a tow truck to the game: Tow Truck - Chevalier Rhino

Improved interface

Added icons for different types of cars and different types of towing. Added multilevel selection menu. The menu sees several cars at once and you can select the type of hook. Icon Author: harrycheez ( Steam Profile )

The ability to push the car with your hands

Now you can move a car that is stuck due to a bug or for another reason
