Should a Front Wheel Drive Vehicle Be Left in Gear When on Tow Dolly
Question:
When towing a 2013 VW Beetle 6 speed manual on a tow dolly, do I leave it in neutral or put it in a gear? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Since your 2013 Volkswagen Beetle is front wheel drive and you would want the front wheels of the vehicle to stay in the dolly while towing you would want to leave it in gear when on a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1. The straps of the dolly should keep the vehicle on the dolly as well though.
You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle before you tow it for any restrictions on towing as well.
