If you have the automatic transmission, then your 2017 Fiat 500 FWD must be towed using a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. This is due to the transmission design style to prevent damage. If you have the manual 5 speed, you can tow it as it with a speed restriction of 65 mph.
If you have the manual 5 speed transmission, I recommend the following:
*Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 522013-1A
*Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520
*Safety Cables # RM-643
*Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
*SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251
*Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - Fiat # RM-751455
*Finally, a high-low adapter. I've attached an article to assist and linked the page to your options.
Let me know if you have any questions.
