Recovery, towing an automatic
When towing an automatic, you don't trail the driving wheels or you'll damage the transmission, even on a short journey. This means that a (broken down) 4WD auto should be recovered on a flat-bed, not towed. Where this is not possible, I have known the driveshafts to be disconnected, tied out the way, and the vehicle towed. But that would be at your own risk.
If yours breaks down, in order to prevent a longer wait, let the Recovery firm know that you have a 4WD automatic, when making the initial call.
