Toyota sat-nav?

you can tow an all wheel drive vehicle but not for very long..and if you can, avoid going fast..you really should disconnect the drive shafts..no transmission is made to go fast in nutral you take a chance of screwing up the bands in the tranny and over heat the transmission because the engine will not be running to cool it..so if you absolutely have to do it at a low speed and tow in foward ..but you really should get atleast a two wheel dolly and dis-connect the rear drive shaft and that way you won't have any problems what so ever..

How can i find websites that advertise cars that transport dead people?

Well, yes, and no. Do not tow the all wheel fdrive with the wheels on the ground- even a short distance. Read your Owner manual!!

Whatever happened to?

If you can tow it any distance it will tell you in there.

Will we, the U.S., invent cars that can travel in time?

Modern transmissions to not pump oil from the driven side so towing the car the transmission is not pumping oil, thus it is not lubricating it's internal parts... would you drive the car with no oil in the transmission? Then don't tow it.
It has nothing to do with heat generated, or the engine cooling the transmission (which it doesn't do anyway...) it has everything to do with the fact that the transmission (automatics) is a hydraulicly driveen and lubricated device and the pump for that oil is not working if the engine is not running (and usually the transmission has to be in something other than park too!)

Can Muscle cars be reliable?

Yes, you can tow it. No problems.
If it is a manual trans.
1. It will not over heat, there is no cooler anyway
2. There are no "bands" in a manual.

Is it safe to say that if you pay more than $50 per tire that they are probably good (regardless of brand)?

If it is an automatic
1. You do not need to disconnect anything. Neutral is neutral. Thats what a transmission is for.
2. It still will not "overheat" because there is no friction in the transmission. It's not turning. The transfer case is turning and there is no cooler for that either.
tow away!
