Can you flat tow a 2017 Ford Fusion?
I plan on picking up a 2017 Ford Fusion from my parent's house in Texas and flat towing it back home to Colorado. Is that okay, or will it damage my car?

Sounds like a fun time! You can flat tow a 2017 Ford Fusion—just make sure to follow all manufacturer’s instructions to avoid transmission damage.
Here’s how to flat tow a 2017 Ford Fusion:
- Release the parking brake.
- Put the vehicle in “stay in neutral mode” by putting the car in drive, then reverse, then back to neutral while keeping your foot on the brake.
- Before you tow and every six hours of towing, turn the engine on and allow it to run for about five minutes to keep its parts lubricated.
