Helpful Expert Reply:
You can flat tow vehicles with automatic transmissions with tow bars like the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676 that you referenced but not every vehicle has the same procedures and restrictions. I am not sure what vehicle you have but if you pull up the owners manual and look up the recreational towing section you'll find out all the info needed for your specific vehicle.
