Chris---

Yes you can flat tow an automatic-----

As long as the engine is running in the towed vehicle---to keep the pump
spinning in the towed trans---

But you risk the chance of the unit in question dropping in gear and
really  cooking the gear box----

Rent A flat bed trailer----better to be safe than sorry---
