That's gonna protect some of the internal components and prevent battery draining as you're flat towing. Now, that's gonna require you removing this cover and pulling the battery cable off every single time and putting it back on when you do need to use your vehicle which can be quite a hassle. more

Now, if you flat-tow your vehicle for a long distance, you could run into an issue where your battery ends up dying. And a lot of the times, your braking system is powered solely by your battery. And with no braking system you can have issues. more
