I have a solution for you. I went ahead and looked up your owner's manual for your 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer, and I discovered that the manufacturer says you cannot flat-tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. Also, with your standard transmission, you can use a tow dolly to transport your vehicle if you have a front-wheel drive model.

For the tow dolly route, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045. The Kar Kaddy SS provides you with plenty of weight capacity for your vehicle. It also comes with a steerable axle that is a huge advantage for cornering and maneuvering. As far as braking, it comes with hydraulic brakes with an EZ surge coupler so you do not need to worry about the hassle of setting up a 7-way wiring harness and a brake controller. To top it all off, it is made 100% in the U.S.A.
