Question:

Well the expert who answered the question for flat towing a 2014 SRX should also include instructions on how to put the transmission in neutral without leaving the key on. You cant shift to neutral without turning the key on and in neutral to cant turn the key off. So on a 6 or 8 hour drive towing the SRX, the battery will be dead.
