I regularly tow my vanagons (manual) with all 4 down and an installed tow bar...But this is with vanagons that I know function well on a normal basis...Have towed at least 3k + miles this way... I had a 2 wheel dolly that let me put the front wheels up and I towed that way about 1500 miles without incident as well... When I towed a questionable one 1300 miles I put it with all 4 wheels on a trailer from Penske...was well worth the peace of mind... Dave 85 GL daily driver 85 parts boy |
