The tow rope makes a very stable and high-quality impression. I have not needed it and luckily it's there just in case of all cases at me during a holiday trip in the trunk. For any demand at home, I use basically only a tow bar. The advantages are: no jerking or kicking when starting or braking, you drive as if you have appended a trailer, and I can even the towed vehicle backwards maneuver, however, make sure that the tow bar always in the longitudinal direction and not cross the towed car , The tow rope, as already mentioned, I used only during a holiday drive for added security. A tow bar takes me for too much space and is too heavy (if it's a good). However, I have found me two more shackles, as the hook of the rope in some cars are not so far in the screw-mount tow hooks that can snap the fuses of the hook. What use is it to me if the hook in my car but not possibly fit in the other vehicle. Thus equipped the rope is recommended in any case, and for the price perfectly okay.
