The tow truck is a handy vehicle in GTA 5, especially for stealing a few cars! If you want to learn how to use the tow truck in GTA 5, just follow these instructions:
  1. If you need to find a tow truck, travel to the north side of Mount Chilead and look for a tent city known as Dignity Village. You should see a tow truck inside a wooden shed.
  2. Get in the tow truck.
  3. Head to the area where you want to steal a car.
  4. Use L3 on PS or LS on Xbox in an up or down motion to raise or lower the hitch.
  5. Back up to the car you want and the hitch will automatically connect.
  6. Use the L3 or LS stick to raise the car.
  7. Press and hold the right button on the D-pad or directional pad to release the hitch.
When you need a tow truck in real life, it’s not quite the same as pressing a few buttons. Unless you want to pay for it, you need to add
towing and labor coverage
to your current car insurance policy.
So conduct some research on companies that offer it. Then, to get the best rate possible, use the
