but it can be done. I have flat towed my GT 850 thousands of miles behind my '03 Aero auto Wagon. Towing limit for a 9-5 is 3500 lbs with trailer brakes, 1000 lbs without.
The one issue I have is braking, it turns the Excellent Aero brakes into mediocre brakes, even at slow speeds because you are stopping 2000 lbs more.
Long hills on the interstate can cause higher oil and coolant temps, I run the auto in sport mode to minimize slippage.
There is no way I would tow anything bigger than a vintage Saab 96 with a 9-5.
