XT4

  • Caddy XT4 manual says NO to 4-down towing, OK with a dolly, though.
  • And does it have a spare tire?

    Recently found out a lot of new cars don't have spares at all.
  • Thanks all, I expected that was true however i had heard that the 2019 XT5 was to be flatowable and wondered about the 4
    ...will continue to research
  • 2019 Owners Manual PDF Link

    Obviously consult the Owners Manual that you got with the vehicle, but the PDF file is pretty clear.
