Towing a vehicle with an automatic transmission?

I know that in order to tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission you have to have something installed or something done to it . I have an rv and would like to tow my car behind. What is it that I need to do for this to work?Towing a vehicle with an automatic transmission?
Well its not overly complicated. But if the vehicle your towing is front wheel drive, most cars/vans are, then you would need to trailer it with the front axle on the trailer. Or if you have a rear wheel drive vehicle, (truck/SUV), you need to trailer it with the rear axle off the ground. But to be safe my friend, I would just load the vehicle right up onto a trailer and get all four tires off the ground. If you tow your vehicle on the ground, its going to put more mileage on it, put stress on all your components. Its not worth it, but if you must, you also just need to put the transmission in Neutral.
I'd say the easiest way to tow anything behind an RV would be to get a car dolly, and skip all of the hassle of installing a towbar, driveline disconnect, etc. You will need to get some lights to plug into the trailer connector of the RV, and some sort of way to temporarily mount them to the car so there will be working brake lights on the car while it's being towed.Towing a vehicle with an automatic transmission?
Just tow it with the drive wheels off the ground and you'll be fine.
Just raise the drive wheels off the ground and tow it using a dolly under the drive wheels. And make sure to put it into neutral. That's about all you gotta do.Towing a vehicle with an automatic transmission?
