Can a 2014 Smart Fortwo Be Flat-Towed
Question:
can I flat tow my 2014 smart car with automatic transmission flat tow.
asked by: Harold G
Expert Reply:
Yes, the 2014 Smart Fortwo is flat towable with all four wheels on the ground per the owner's manual. There were no specifications for auto/manual trans models. For future reference, this is where you can look in order to determine whether or not a vehicle can be flat-towed and the steps needed to do so. I have attached below the complete parts list needed to complete the task.
