Avoiding detection from the cops is a smart move in GTA 5, especially because the situation can escalate so quickly. To learn how to work the tow truck in GTA 5, follow these steps:
  1. To find a tow truck you can use, head to Dignity Village located on the north side of Mount Chilead.
  2. Hop into the tow truck by hitting Y on your Xbox controller or triangle on PS.
  3. Go to the area where the car is.
  4. Use the left analog stick on Xbox or on PS to raise or lower the hitch by moving the stick up or down.
  5. Back up to the car you want. The hitch should attach automatically. Use the left analog stick to raise the car up.
  6. Drive to where you want the car.
  7. Once you have the car where you want it, press on the right directional pad to release it.
