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.

The 2006 Chevy Equinox is not recommended for flat towing, as it is not designed for it. Flat towing can cause damage to the transmission since the vehicle does not have a neutral tow option. If you need to tow an Equinox, it's best to use a tow dolly or a trailer to ensure safety and prevent damage. Always consult the owner's manual for specific towing guidelines.
