we just returned from a 4000 mile trip with a Hyundai Elantra in tow. It is fwd, std trans and there is no evidence of tire scrub or anything. We saw many fwd cars in tow, saw nothing out of the ordinary with them either! Trailers and tow dollys ok if you just have to have an automatic trans if you want to tow, but only add another weight and item to have something go wrong with. Friend of ours was towing with a dolly and had a strap come loose, beat the hell out of the front fender. Additionally he scraped the other side trying to get it on the dolly! So there are pos/cons for everything. But the blanket statement made about why not to tow fwd I find is just plain not true. can you post a credible link to back up the statement?
