Everyone has their own personal preference on what they want to tow and will normally figure out a way to make it happen. For us, all we are looking for is some sort of basic transportation once we reach a destination. The car we tow is not the family car, we are not full timers and usually travel on average once a month. Having said all that... we tow a 2012 Mazda III with an manual 6 speed transmission with no steering wheel lock. So all we need to do is hook it up, put it in neutral and go. Most people prefer an automatic transmission but you may want to consider manual it as an option for towing.
