There is no automatic transmission car (other than 4x4 with neutral in the transfer case) that does not have to be periodically run to relubricate. There are few manual transmission cars that don't have to periodically run for lubrication. If you make that a requirement, almost nothing is towable.
Hehe, you need to do more research before making statements like this. :)
Ford's Fusion hybrid and Cmax hybrid works exactly that way - Flat tow it all you want up to 70 mph, no need to ever stop and crank the engine to relubricate. The eCVT transmission keeps itself lubricated just fine. 'Tis why I said in previous post, that IMO these vehicles are some of the easiest, most simple automatic tranny vehicles to tow.

Our Escape hybrid works the same way. Too bad they no longer make it.
