Expert Reply:

You can flat tow a 2013 Smart fortwo, but you cannot tow it using a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. Your owners manual states that towing with the front axle raised may cause serious damage to the brake system. This is on page 202 of the online owners manual. You will need to flat tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground or tow it on a trailer with all 4 wheels off the ground.

Your vehicle is 8.83 feet long by 5.08 feet wide with a weight of up to 1,852 lbs. You can use a utility trailer to tow it if you like.

If you choose to flat tow it, I recommend the following for a complete system:

Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 52285-1
Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # RM-020
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154
Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle # RM-766
SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251
Brake Pedal Adapter for SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO - Smart # SM99602
And finally a ball mount compatible with the height of your vehicle coupler. I've attached some articles to assist.
