Expert Reply:

Flat towing a vehicle requires several components at minimum: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, wiring kit, and a supplementary braking system. The linked article covers each of these items in detail. For example, your Impala can use Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 3103-1.

Certain vehicles, including your 2005 Impala front-wheel-drive, also require a transmission lubrication pump be installed to prevent damage to the transmission. According to our main resource for flat-towing information your Impala cannot be flat towed in its standard configuration.
