Example techniques are presented for providing tracked vehicles with deployable towing wheels. Such techniques involve a track vehicle (102) having a vehicle body (104), a track (106) coupled to the vehicle body, and a wheel assembly coupled to the vehicle body. The wheel assembly includes a wheel (108) and is operable to assume a towing position in which at least a portion of the wheel extends below the track and enables the tracked vehicle to be towed on the wheel without the track making ground contact.
