Can the 2014-15 Dodge Charger be flat-towed?

[Nowitall]

I rented a 2014 Charger with the 6 banger (almost 300hp, WOW!) and the 5 speed tranny. So I'm wondering if it can be flat-towed (um, not the rental, but one I would buy 😉 ). Anyone know?

True.
It depends on if the main output shaft is on an oil bath or up out of the oil when not moving. We went through this years ago on a Cadillac CTS.

The OP said "5 speed tranny" and maybe I misinterpreted that to mean a manual tranny. When you say "five speed" you are usually referring to a manual transmission, but I guess it could go either way.

The six speed manual trans is only available on the Hemi version with SRT package I believe.

There are people on here who say anything with a manual transmission can be towed four down. I don't know if that is true or not but you look into it.

The Charger is not listed in the 2014 Guide to Dinghy Towing by MotorHome magazine. Check the owner's manual.

Never mind. Just read that it ain't towable. Fooey.

I was very thankfull to find out it's just the hose at the fill. When I first saw the water running out of the back I was worried I was giong to have to tear the bathroom apart to find the leak.

Been there, done that. Mine was detached at the tank though and wasn't too hard to reattach.
