I’ve understood that the Wrangler automatic can’t be flat towed. I’ll have to check, but I think the weight is an issue, too.

The Samurai is even harder to find, at least one that hasn’t been modified within an inch of it’s life and/or abused. I don’t think the automatic is flat towable either, but I will check.

Is there any truth to the high center of gravity rollover thing with the Samurai, or is it more Naderite crap?

I spun that Suzuki on black ice a full 360 degrees at 45 mph merging on an interstate and did not flip it or hit anything.

About had heart failure.

I think referring to on-line copies of exact models involved is the best thing and then discuss this with the tranny mechanic at the dealer that carries the actual brand. There are countless people that flat tow Wranglers out here in Phoenix. Snowbirds are all over the place.

I had a Samurai also (bought new for a few dollars during the C/R scare) and liked it also although the 68 mph top speed was kind of limiting on the highway. Fine for around town. A crosswind did have it up on two wheels once coming across a Cascades pass - exciting!!!
