Chris--- Yes you can flat tow an automatic----- As long as the engine is running in the towed vehicle---to keep the pump spinning in the towed trans--- But you risk the chance of the unit in question dropping in gear and really cooking the gear box---- Rent A flat bed trailer----better to be safe than sorry--- Later,
