Bear’s track behind vehicle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carry

'bear's' is the definition.
(bear can mean to carry)

'track behind vehicle' is the wordplay.
'track' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'behind' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'ry' put after 'car' is 'CARRY'.

(Other definitions for carry that I've seen before include "Bear, tote" , "Transport; bear" , "Move" , "Bring" , "Transport, fetch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
