            Done it before. It's definitely doable. I didn't do long distance towing like many others, but my Festy seemed to tow the other one (which was loaded down with 500+lbs of parts and a friend) 40 miles across hilly farm roads just fine.

            I would recommend changing your transmission oil before and after the trip, as towing is pretty hard on a tranny.

              I don't understand why.
              Manual tranny in neutral shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.
              I wouldn't flat tow an auto festy at all unless the tranny is already toast.

                I meant the transmission of the car that's doing the towing. I guess I worded it kind of vaguely.
