RV trips are such a great time! But unfortunately, it is not recommended that you flat tow an automatic Smart Car.
Smart Car’s manufacturers do not approve of flat towing these compact, automatic vehicles. If you need to tow your Smart Car, you should use a flatbed trailer. The flatbed trailer can hitch to your RV and will keep all four wheels of your Smart Car off of the road as it’s being pulled.
Flatbed towing will help you avoid damaging your vehicle. If you flat tow an automatic vehicle—especially if the towed vehicle’s wheels are rolling down the highway at a high speed—you could end up severely damaging the transmission.
Flat towing refers to a towing method where all four wheels of the towed vehicle are touching the ground. The towed vehicle is attached to the vehicle that pulls it by a tow bar.
Understanding the dos and don’ts when it comes to caring for your Smart Car is a vital part of responsible car ownership. One thing that’s always a do is finding the best savings on your Smart Car insurance costs
