The invention is an adjustable drawbar for a towed vehicle, such as a trailer, which allows it to be connected to a towing vehicle. It includes a hollow member which is configured with an opening along a surface and slidably receives an extension member. The extension member includes a guide which is dimensioned to be received by the opening. When the extension member is axially rotated in a first direction, the guide is engaged with the hollow member and prevents slidable movement. When the extension member is axially rotated in a second direction, the guide is disengaged from the opening and slidable movement is permitted. In this manner, the length of the drawbar may be adjusted as required, for example, to reduce the overall footprint of the trailer when being stored in a confined area.
