The Red Tow®
Meet the Red Tow®, a portable towing system designed specifically for ATVs. Whether you’re on the trails, on the dunes or deep in the mud, breakdowns happen — and now, you’ll always be ready to get your buddies back to camp.
Unlike bulky trailers or permanent setups, the Red Tow is lightweight, compact, and easy to carry. It breaks down into six pieces under 20 inches each, making it small enough to fit on any ATV rack. When you need it, it assembles in just 2 minutes with no special tools required.
*** If you have an ATV with near stock tires we suggest this smaller and cheeper ATV version, for ATVs with portals and/or large tires we suggest the version of The Red Tow© in the link here ⇨ The Red Tow for ATVs ***
Why Choose The Red Tow®?
When another machine breaks down, you shouldn’t have to cut your ride short. With the Red Tow, you can safely and efficiently tow a disabled vehicle back to camp without leaving it behind. Its patent-pending design is the first of its kind, combining portability, strength, and convenience into one system.
Take the Red Tow with you on every ride, and you’ll always be prepared.
