How to tow a Chevy Equinox?
With the drive wheels off of the ground. Automatic transmissions depend on a pump to keep the internal transmission parts lubricated. If you tow ANY vehicle with an automatic transmission with the wheels on the ground (even in neutral) you will most likely burn the transmission up. The ONLY way around this is to let the car idle in neutral while being towed, or if it is RWD, disconnect the driveshaft. If the car has a manual transmission, you can simply tow it in neutral even with the wheels on the ground.

With automatic transmission, you must dolly all wheels, or remove the driveshaft(s) to whichever (or both) axle with wheels that will be on the ground. With manual transmission, you can get away with leaving both the transmission and transfer case in neutral, but if you tow serious distances, like cross-country or something, the ideal method would be to remove the driveshafts to any axle with wheels that will be on the ground, to be safest.

Can you tow a 2008 Toyota solara convertible?
Yes, but as with most automatic transmission cars the drive wheels (front in this case) have to be off the ground. You'll need a 'dolly' type trailer. The front wheels are carried by the trailer while the rears are still on the roadway. If the transmission were manual and not automatic you could get away with leaving all four wheels on the ground and using a tow bar. Cheers

I am going to be towing my 1995 Chrysler sebring and I was wondering if it is safe to pull the vehicle from the frt end w all 4 tires on the ground or if the frt tires should be elevated?
If it is a Automatic, then the drive wheels should not touch the ground. Severe transmission damage can occur if towed in that manner. If it is a manual, then it can be towed with all wheels rotating.
