Well, let's see...
According to the Owners Manual, any Crossfire CAN be towed IF the driveshaft is disconnected at the differential yoke, and IF the auto door locks are disabled, and IF some fancy electronic brake actuating gadget is disabled so the rear wheels won't lock up, and IF the motion sensor is disabled so the alarm won't go off...
Let's see, was that everything?
Oh, yeah, you will have to go through the whole thing every time you use the car, because when the key is inserted and turned ON, the whole mess resets to
ACTIVE!
However, it is YOUR car, and YOUR money, you are free to do it YOUR way!
As for me, I will stay with my Jeep. Transfer case in NEUTRAL, transmission in 6th gear, ignition switch in OFF, not locked, and go. No limitations.
If it needs modified to be towed, I won't have one.
If the manufacturer says "Don't tow it!", that's good enough for me.
