The correct answer, assuming that you have an automatic transmission, is that you should probably not tow in the highest gear, which would be also called "overdrive". What's more important, however is the weight of your tow ,and the presence of tow equipment such as a heavy duty radiator and transmission cooler. A good rule of thumb about towing safely is: just because you can, does not mean that you should. What that means is that, yes you may be able to tow it, but in an emergency would you be able to safely stop it? Check with your dealer or a qualified hitch installer before heading off on that dream vacation or it may turn into a bad dream vacation for more than just you. Seriously....
