Can an Automatic Transmission Vehicle Tow Another Car?

[Miriam]

An automatic transmission vehicle can tow another car. Correct towing operation: Locate the towing hook positions at the rear of the towing vehicle and the front of the towed vehicle. Some vehicles have detachable towing hooks that require assembly before use. After removing the bumper cover, assemble the included hook and install the towing equipment. Towing distance: Maintain a safe and effective distance of 6-10 meters or more between the towing and towed vehicles to prevent the towed vehicle from failing to stop promptly, which could lead to accidents. Towing precautions: Apply reflective strips when towing at night to alert passing vehicles. Maintain good communication with the lead vehicle during towing, as close coordination between both vehicles is essential to avoid significant damage, especially during uphill climbs or turns—plan maneuvers in advance. Control the safety distance; the tow rope should not be too short to prevent rear-end collisions during sudden braking.
