I will guarantee you the people your dealing with in the service department have never read the manual.
You're right about service departments. My wife pulled into the Ford dealer to get some weather stripping repaired. They noticed the brackets for the tow bar and our car became the center of attention for a few minutes. They wanted to know if we had to modify the vehicle and how we got the brackets on, etc. They asked her several times if she was SURE the car was flat towable. Despite assurances we had towed it from coast to coast harm free, it wasn't until she told them to look in the owner's manual did the questions stop. They were amazed to see that an unmodified automatic transmission could be flat towed up to 70mph with no mileage limits. My wife was amazed to see that the service department had little idea of the car's capabilities.
