When you tow a car 'four down' you just unlock the steering column.  The
same front end geometry that makes a car go straight when you take your
hands off the steering wheel will make it follow the tow vehicle, too.
The only problem is you can't back up more than a few feet.  Also,
sometimes on very tight turns the wheels may want to turn the wrong way,
especially if your tow vehicle has a long rear overhang.
