Abstract: A towing vehicle includes a body on two frame side members and a towing device supported on the members. The frame side members extend substantially parallel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and are in a plane parallel to the surface on which the vehicle travels. The towing device is mounted on a towing beam which extends between the two frame side members at the rear of the vehicle and the towing device is couplable to a towable vehicle. A support arrangement at the rear of the vehicle is connected to the two frame side members and incorporates at least one and preferably two beams which are connected respectively to one of the frame side members either directly or by a connecting element that extends laterally outwardly from the respective frame side member. The beams are connected to a support member that extends across the body. The beams extend at an angle of inclination relative to the plane.
