Yes, an automatic transmission car can be towed, but it requires special precautions to avoid damaging the transmission. Towing an automatic transmission vehicle with the drive wheels on the ground can lead to serious damage because the transmission will not be properly lubricated when the engine is off, causing internal parts to overheat. The safest way to tow an automatic car is by using a flatbed tow truck, which ensures all four wheels are off the ground. If flatbed towing is not possible, using a tow dolly that lifts the drive wheels off the ground is a good alternative. Always consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for manufacturer-specific towing guidelines, as some automatic transmission cars may have specific towing instructions or limitations.
