I have a Toyota Camry (manual trans) that I have been towing for years. I bought a cheap battery booster with a 12 volt cigarette lighter that I bought at Walmart years ago. I plug my Patriot into that, and I turn off the ignition switch, but leave the key in the ignition in the off position. By not removing the key after turning off the ignition, it prevents the steering lock from activating. (Confirm that your steering lock will not engage if you leave the key in the ignition by manually turning the steering wheel left and right lock to lock with the key in the off and inserted position. Not all ignition locks work this way.) I can tow several days without running down the booster battery. After I m done towing, I just charge the booster in the mh for the next trip. Just make sure that your steering lock is not locked, and you should be good to go. This alleviates the need to pull fuses, and if all else fails, you will know where the battery booster is if you need it.
