AA 4 m 3.5 tonne heavy-duty tow rope (AA6202)
If a breakdown or minor bump leaves you stuck, a proper tow rope makes all the difference. This AA heavy‑duty strap‑style tow rope is built to move vehicles up to 3.5 tonne safely and simply. The bright yellow webbing means other road users can spot you straight away, even in dull light.
Why this tow rope is useful
At 4 m long it gives a sensible gap between the towing and towed vehicle for safety and easier manoeuvring. The webbing is heavy‑duty with reinforced stitching so it stands up to repeated use without fraying. Quick‑release metal hooks make attaching and detaching straightforward, and it all packs into a zipped carry bag — no faffing about trying to jam the strap into the boot.

Typical situations this helps with
Broken down on the motorway hard shoulder and need to move to the nearest slip road? Stuck in a narrow lane and need a quick tow to the garage? A helpful motorist can use this tow rope to shift a vehicle a short distance. It isn’t a recovery winch replacement, but it’s ideal for getting a stalled or damaged vehicle out of immediate danger or to a repair location.
Practical notes and safety
Always attach the hooks to the designated towing points on both vehicles and follow the instruction leaflet supplied. This rope will only handle up to 3.5 tonne, so double‑check the vehicle’s gross weight if you’re in any doubt. Read the instructions before use, keep bystanders well back and use appropriate signalling. Supplied by AA Media Limited (model AA6202), the packed item weighs around 640 g — small and simple to store in the boot.
Keeping this rope in the car is a straightforward bit of common sense — no more improvising with unsuitable kit when things go pear‑shaped. It’s one less thing to worry about on a wet evening or when you’re running late.
