the most important thing to do is latch it down from the tow hooks in the front of the car near the bumpers. to tie a car toflatbed truc first put the car on the flatbed,lol take a chain or rope or tiedown and attach to front of car.most cars now have a tow ring just under bumper at front attach other end to truck in front of car so car would not roll back if brakes were off then take another strap or tiedown and attach to rear of car, and attach to truck pulling car back from front tiedown if not tow hooks on rear, attach around axle housing making sure to go between housing and break line,otherwise you can damage brake line then apply tension on tiedown .this will apply tension to fron tie down tied this way the car cannot roll backwards of forwards on flat bed

What car that can be flat towed?

To the best of my knowledge most 2 wheel rear drive cars and trucks can be towed without damaging the transmission (if by your question you mean "flat towed" as meaning towed behind a tow truck on it's rear wheels). Most, if not all, 4 wheel drive cars need to be towed ( carried up on) a flat bed truck. Having a flat bed truck carry a 4 wheel drive car will prevent damage to the transmission.
