I do see it is safe to flat tow your 2019 Ford Taurus AWD as long as you do not exceed 65 mph and start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes at the beginning of each day and every six hours thereafter. You will need the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX2643 and the Tow Bar # BX7380 for connecting to it. Then we have the Diode Kit # BX8848, Electrical Cord # BX88206 and Braking System # HM39524 to take care of the electrical and braking.
You may need a Hitch Adapter # BLU28XR to keep the tow bars within 3" of level from the receiver to the front of your Taurus.
