Can you flat tow a Suzuki Vitara?

I need to get my Suzuki Vitara to another city because I’m moving. The easiest thing would be to flat tow it behind the moving truck. Is this possible?

So you’re moving and have decided against

shipping your car

. This doesn’t have to be a problem if you can transport your car another way! Luckily, you can flat tow a Suzuki Vitara regardless of the transmission type.

Before setting off with your vehicle in tow, follow these safety tips:

Get your wheels aligned. This will help your vehicle follow the moving truck through turns.

Pull your battery’s positive cable. You don’t want your battery to die while it’s being flat towed.

Choose the right connection. Do research on the best way to connect your vehicle to the toad so it won’t come loose during the drive.

Check how your drivetrain should be configured. You don’t want your transmission spinning during the tow. Find out if your vehicle needs to be set in park or in gear before towing.

Lastly, double check your

in your new ZIP code. If you think your new

rates are too high, download the

app to get the best deals on the coverage you need. It’s free to sign up and only takes a few minutes to find a new policy.
