• How To Flat Tow a 2012 Kia Rio
  I do have an option for you but the 2012 Kia Rio cannot be towed with all four wheels down. However, it can be towed behind your motorhome using a tow dolly, the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes part # RM-2050-1 is what I recommend. This tow dolly will actually be more cost effective than a full flat-tow setup and it will not cause as much wear on the vehicle as only half of it will be making contact with the road which keeps your front suspension in full working order.

The only thing mentioned in regards to dolly towing was that "if your vehicle has a steering wheel lock make sure the ignition is in the accessory or on position when being towed." There is no other mention in the manual in regards to being in neutral or the parking brake on or off (though I would assume...

• 2019 MINI Cooper S with Automatic Transmission Compatibility with Tow Dolly and Bike Rack
  Based on your owners manual it does appear you can dolly tow your 2019 Mini Cooper Automatic with the front wheels off the ground but I recommend checking with your dealer for distance or speed restrictions because the owners manual only references emergency towing and gives both a speed and distance restriction of 30 miles and 30 mph with no reasoning behind those restrictions. If you find you are able to tow dolly a 2019 Mini Cooper S, then the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes...

• Is Trailer Breakaway Kit Required for Tow dolly
  You do ask a good question. A breakaway system is not required when using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly. And yes, there would definitely be a risk of the towed car jackknifing if the dolly brakes engaged after the trailer decoupling. The rear of the towed car could come around sideways and make a bad situation worse. My technical contact at Roadmaster confirmed that the above information is correct.

• Can 2018 Chevy Equinox All Wheel Driver Model Be Flat or Dolly Towed
  According to the owner's manual, only Diesel AWD models are capable of being flat towed, and AWD equipped vehicles are not capable of being dolly towed. Otherwise, the only way to tow the vehicle without damage is on a trailer. I've done some research, and haven't been able to locate any references that indicate that shutting off the AWD system would enable the vehicle to be dolly towed, I'm sorry to say. If the vehicle is a Diesel, to flat tow it you'd need a tow bar, base plates,...
