Dinghy towing my xA
I have a 2006 xA with automatic transmission. Today we were talking to another Scion owner who mentioned they had relatives that flat towed their Scion with automatic transmission.
Is there a modification that can be made to my Scion to allow it to be flat towed behind out RV?

Jon, My Scion has an automatic not manual and the owners manual & dinghy towing guide said manual transmission. That's why I was questioning. Thank you

Scion xA's are not rated for dingy towing with an automatic transmission. Can cause major damage to the transmission. Either put her on a dolly or a flat bed trailer , or be prepared to replace the tranny at every stop.

Thank you so much! That's what we thought, but thought we would ask. We have been considering a flat bed trailer and will probably go that route. Have used a tow dolly before & didn't like it for a number of reasons.
