No automatic transmission driven vehicles can be towed any distance at all without damage to the transmission gears. You have to lift the drive wheels off the ground in order to tow it. On some vehicles you can disconnect the drive shaft (if it is not front wheel drive.) The reason that it causes damage is because when the drive wheels turn, the interior gears of the transmission turn too and since the transmission is not working, there is no lubrication being pumped inside the transmission. The lack of lubrication causes gear damage.

Can a Volkswagen Beetle with Auto Trans be towed 4 wheels down?
No, a Volkswagen Beetle with an automatic transmission cannot be towed four wheels down (flat towing) without risking damage to the transmission. Towing in this manner can cause the transmission to overheat and fail, as it relies on engine power for lubrication. If you need to tow a Beetle, it’s best to use a tow dolly or trailer. Always consult the owner’s manual for specific towing recommendations.
What new automatic cars can be safely towed with all wheels turning?
