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 11):
The towing assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a coupling arrangement that limits movement of the tow loop to prevent the arms from fully withdrawing from the channels such that the tow loop and the bracket remain coupled when towing a vehicle utilizing the tow loop.
