ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vehicle tow bar comprises a longitudinally extending, tubular cross bar mounted laterally across the front of the vehicle to be towed, the cross bar mounting for longitudinal movement thereon, pivotal rotation thereabout, and laterally pivotal movement relative thereto, a longitudinally extensible, two section telescoping reach having a hitch coupler mounted on its forwardmost end arranged for connection to an associated hitch ball component on a tow vehicle. A pair of tow chains connect opposite longitudinal ends of the cross bar to the forwardmost end of the reach and are arranged to become taut when the reach is extended to a desired maximum length. A locking screw on the rear section of the reach releasably engages the forward section of the reach to move the latter forwardly in order to tension the chains attached thereto and to prevent inward collapsing of the telescoping sections. When not in use, the reach may be pivoted on the cross bar to a collapsed position whereby it overlies the cross bar and is locked thereon. A chain tray is provided to hold the chains while the assembly is in collapsed, storage position.
