Abstract: A tow bar assembly for use with automotive vehicles for enabling one vehicle to be towed by another and wherein the hitch bar is laterally and pivotably adjustable by being attached to a self-centering sleeve which is slideably disposed about a cross bar that is secured to the front end of the trailing vehicle. The tow bar assembly allows the hitch carried by the hitch bar to be raised and urged forwardly and laterally so that the hitch may be engaged with the hitch ball of the towing vehicle without having to have the vehicles in perfect alignment. Minor movement of the trailing vehicle will thereafter automatically cause the centering sleeve to slideably traverse the cross bar thereby allowing the receiver hitch bar to become automatically centered and locked into proper towing position.
