First, the Tribute must be a manual transmission model. Automatic transmission models cannot be flat towed, as the transmission can be damaged if the wheels are not turning.
Second, the Tribute must have a special towing kit installed. This kit will include a tow bar, safety cables, and a wiring harness. The tow bar will connect the Tribute to the tow vehicle, and the safety cables will help to prevent the Tribute from breaking away from the tow vehicle. The wiring harness will connect the Tribute's lights and turn signals to the tow vehicle.
Third, the Tribute's driveshaft must be disconnected before it can be flat towed. This will prevent the driveshaft from spinning and damaging the transmission.
Fourth, the Tribute's transmission must be in neutral when it is being flat towed. This will prevent the transmission from being damaged.
Finally, the Tribute's parking brake must be engaged when it is being flat towed. This will help to prevent the Tribute from rolling away.
If all of these precautions are taken, the Mazda Tribute can be flat towed safely.
