If you tow from the back end of a 2WD, then you can tow as far as desired.
It is never a good idea to tow an Automatic in neutral, with the drive axle
down.  Frankly, I would "flat bed" it, if it didn't cost too much more.


Good luck!


And, shop around!!! You won't believe how competitive some towing companies
will get if they know it isn't a rush job to get it off the street.
