Mazda 2 towed

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!

I am looking at FMCA's towing chart for front wheel drive cars and I see that there many cars that can be towed 4 wheels down. Is FMCA wrong?

F450, in the future it's best not to double post, I'm going to close off yesterdays thread and link here. Good discussion is always good, but multiple posts aren't needed.

F450,
The reason most FWD vehicles are NOT towable 4-down is the way the transmission is operated and lubricated. SOME front-wheel drive vehicles ARE towable 4-down - you can review the various makes and models year by year with a simple search for the year in question. (My 2009 Saturn Outlook AWD is OK to be towed 4-down - but many other brands and models of various years are not - unless you invest in the addition of transmission fluid pumps or disconnect of the drive-train. (A major pain for either situation!)
So if your owner manual says not to do it - DON'T!! It could only take a few miles at high speed and you be looking at BIG $$$ to replace the tranny & perhaps other expensive stuff as well.
