In the maker's words

Before you tow

  • “Mercedes-Benz recommends transporting your vehicle in the case of a breakdown, rather than towing it away.”
2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV Operator's Manual, p. 309 ↗

Other options

Can't flat tow it? Here's what works

A version that can't go four wheels down can still travel on a car trailer or, where the maker allows, a tow dolly. Ford's towing guide adds: “Ford Motor Company recommends that a separate functional brake system be used on any towed vehicle, including those dolly-towed or towbar-towed.” p. 3 ↗
