oldkid66@att.net Report post Posted April 10, 2009 I am shopping for a new commuting coar to drive to and from work daily. I also want to use it as our Toad 4 down. My wife want to buy a new Mini Cooper. Has anyone towed a Mini Cooper 4 down or do any of you know of someone who has towed a Mini Cooper? Thanks, Oldkid San Antonio, TX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wayne77590 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Hello Oldkid, On this site, "FMCA" web, is a quick link for towing and it has a yearly manual for those automobiles that are towable with four wheels down. Looking in the 2009 guide I did not see a listing for the Mini Cooper. If you go to a dealer and look at the owners manual, it should tell you whether the Mini is towable, or not. Also, check the Remco web site for Towing Your Mini. The web states that the Manual transmission Mini for 2009 is towable as is, but the automatic can only be towed with a dolly. Good luck.

Loren@inkonpaper.biz Report post Posted April 21, 2009 I own an 2004 Mini with constant variable transmission It is not towable with a dolly Has something to do with over stressing the rear suspension Loren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommy_strunk@yahoo.com Report post Posted April 22, 2009 I also, wanted a MC. I went direct to Mini Cooper. They advised that the MC was not towable. We are selling our Jeep and buying a G6 hardtop conv, that is towable. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghand Report post Posted June 10, 2009 A little confused... The Remco site indicates the manual transmission is towable 4 wheels down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garykd Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Hi ghand, Welcome to the forum. Consider calling MC directly and asking about the specific year, model and transmission you are considering. Manufacturers change components, sometimes during the model year. As previously posted, look in the owners manual. This is the only place the manufacturer puts in writing if the car can be towed, what the process is and any restrictions that need to be observed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
