Can 2005 Pontiac Vibe Be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome  

Question:

Besides tow bars, light and braking packages from E trailer, would a 2005 Pontiac Vibe need a transmission pump for flat towing?

Expert Reply:

I checked the online owner's manual for the 2005 Pontiac Vibe on the GM website and it shows that the front-wheel-drive with manual transaxle CAN be flat towed without need for a transmission lube pump and it can also be towed using a dolly like # RM-2050-1. However, the all-wheel-drive version cannot be flat towed, nor can it be towed with two wheels up on a tow dolly.

The basic parts of a flat towing setup include the tow bar, lighting kit and braking system you mentioned, as well as a couple of other components including safety cables and often a high/low hitch adapter. I will be glad to offer a complete flat towing setup recommendation for your Vibe.

Roadmaster Base Plate # 3130-1
Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520
Safety Cables # RM-643
Magnetic Light Kit # TL21RK
Even Brake # RM-9400
High/Low Adapter # RM-048-6

An article on high/low adapters is included also to help you with selecting the right one to keep the connected tow bar level.
