My dad and I are going to tow the car to the mechanic using a tow strap. Is it ok to do this? and also where is the best place to tow the car from? I could not find the front tow point and I don't think it is the owner's manual.Thanks,Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78167-scary-turbo-grinding-noises/page/2/#findComment-1170360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard something about not towing autos long distances...

Manuals r fine but there is still a lack of places to tow from.
