Can you flat tow a 2018 Ford Fiesta?

I’ve fine-tuned my 2018 Ford Fiesta to be a formidable rally driver. However, the only off-road track close to me is quite a drive. As a result, I want to tow it with my truck. Can I flat tow my 2018 Fiesta?

You can flat tow a 2018 Ford Fiesta without any issues as long as you don’t have the Ford Fiesta ST. The car sits on a chassis that won’t damage the transmission or drivetrain if you decide to flat tow, so as long as you get the correct towing equipment, towing should be a breeze.
If you have the ST trim, you cannot flat-tow it. Instead, you’ll need to use a flatbed trailer or a two-wheel dolly to move the car. Flatbed trailers cost between $1,000 and $3,000 in most cases, but it might be worth the investment to keep the mileage low on your Fiesta.
If you want to save some cash to purchase a flatbed trailer, review your car insurance policy and shop around with the
