Mazda 2 towed
Has anyone towed a 2013Mazda 2 4 wheels down? Mazda says you shouldn't. Why is that? How is it any different than any other from wheel drive car?

When I went to test drive the Nissan Versa there were many different options in the office. One guy even had a copy of the towing guide that said the Versa std can be towed 4 down. The service manager said no as well as the manual.

FMCA says they list only those vehicles whose manufacturer says are flat towable. In other words, you "Should" be able to find a page in the Owner's Manual that says flat towing is OK. Maybe with conditions, but OK.
That said, I'd want to see the factory owner's manual and satisfy myself that the manufacturer said flat towing was OK.
REMCO, purveyor of lube pumps, is another source that is usually correct. Still, Show Me the Manual!
