* Automatic Transmission: Generally, vehicles with automatic transmissions should be towed with all four wheels on the ground, *but only if the wheels can freely rotate*. Towing with the drive wheels off the ground is usually safer for automatic transmissions. If you try to tow an automatic with the drive wheels on the ground and they are not free to turn, you can damage the transmission.
* Manual Transmission: Manual transmissions are more tolerant of being towed with the drive wheels on the ground, but it's still best to check the owner's manual for specific instructions.
* Vehicle Condition: If the vehicle is not drivable due to a serious mechanical problem, a flatbed tow truck is often the safest option, regardless of transmission type. This avoids further damage and ensures the vehicle's safety during transport.
Always consult your Chrysler Town and Country's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended towing procedures. This will provide the definitive answer based on your specific vehicle's year and model. Ignoring the manufacturer's recommendations could void warranties or cause unnecessary damage.
