If you tow trailers for work or play, there’s a good chance you’re making a critical mistake—attaching your breakaway cable to the same place as your safety chains. Not only is this non-compliant with DOT regulations, but it also leaves you exposed to serious safety risks if your hitch fails.
That’s exactly why the Tow Tether was created.
This brand-new product, just released on the Dirt Monkey Shop, offers a simple, universal, and DOT-approved solution to keep your breakaway cable properly anchored to your truck’s frame—not your hitch.
🚨 Why the Tow Tether Matters
Most people don’t realize the breakaway cable must be attached to an independent location on the tow vehicle, not the hitch or chain loops. If the hitch were to fail, and the safety chains and breakaway cable are all clipped to the same spot, nothing will stop the trailer from careening down the road.
The Tow Tether solves this problem by creating a dedicated anchor point on the truck frame using a heavy-duty wrap-and-bolt design. It installs in minutes, works with nearly any truck, and ensures you’re towing with real safety—and full compliance.
✅ Features and Benefits
✔ DOT-Compliant Design
Satisfies federal towing regulations by anchoring the breakaway cable independently from the hitch.
✔ Universal Fit
The rugged bolt-on system wraps securely around your truck’s frame, making it compatible with most pickups—no drilling or welding required.
✔ Improved Safety
Ensures your trailer brakes still engage in the event of a hitch failure—exactly when you need them most.
✔ Fast, Easy Install
Attach in minutes using basic tools. Once installed, just clip your breakaway cable to the tether and you’re good to go.
