That customer asked about the 2017 Fiat 500 FWD. Your 2016 Fiat A/T Gucci according to the owners manual will allow dolly towing with the front wheels off the ground according to the online owners manual on page 305 and page 306 states not to flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission as damage to the drive train will result. A manual transmission vehicle can be flat towed with the transmission in neutral without damage based on the manufacturer design.
If you utilize a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1 you will also need to use 7-way connection # PK12706. Whether you use a tow dolly or if you flat tow (a manual transmission vehicle) nothing special needs to be done for the back tires. There are no speed restrictions for your model year vehicle.
