Question:
Hello, I had read that the Sonic Hatchback Turbo RS Automatic Transmission wasnt flat-tow capable. Im reviewing the owners manual now, but I cant find a note prohibiting flat-towing of the RS Automatic. What am I missing? Was this a restriction on older models that is now lifted? Thank you!

The 2020 Chevrolet Sonic RS can be flat-towed with all four wheels down according to the owner's manual. In fact, we have even setup a Chevrolet Sonic RS before for flat-towing which you will see in a video below although it was a different model year. I have attached the parts you will need below as well.
