Abstract:
An exemplary towing assembly includes, among other things, a bracket having laterally spaced channels, and a tow loop having laterally spaced arms. Each of the arms is configured to slide within a respective one of the channels from a deployed to a retracted position in response to a load applied to the tow loop. An exemplary method of positioning a tow loop includes, among other things, in response to a load applied to a tow loop, moving the tow loop from a deployed position to a retracted position within a bracket. The method further includes biasing the tow loop away from the retracted position toward a deployed position.

Claim (Index 13):
The towing assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the tow loop is a U-bar, and further comprising a biasing structure associated with each of the arms of the U-bar, the biasing structure configured to bias the tow loop away from the retracted position toward the deployed position.
