Towing a Scion FRS 4 down

[Butch50]

I already have a Ford Fiesta that tow 4 down but my son wants to givr me his 2013 Scion FRS with a 6 speed manual that only has 10,000 miles on it. It says it can't be towed but I wondering if anybody has flat towed one with any problems. I'm also looking at towing with rear wheels on a dolly. If all else fails I guess it would come down to putting it on a trailer.

Thanks

The manual transmission design is such that when the output shaft is being driven, (as when being towed 4 down)the countershaft does not rotate; the countershaft must rotate to lubricate the main shaft and its components. Don’t recommend towing 4 down.

Why would you doubt the manufacturer's statement not to tow four down? Seems to me they could sell many more vehicles if it could be towed four down.
