Default Towing

Can anyone give me the correct answer please.
Can you tow a subaru on a tow rope with all 4 wheels on the road and if so over what distance.

Cheers
Iain

Yes.

I should think the distance is of no relevance at all ... I assume it will be in neutral without the engine running?

The issues come if only 2 wheels are turning.
