Towing with an Automatic car

We have been driving, and towing with, only automatics since 1972, mainly Volvos, but now a VW Touareg.

Would never buy a manual.

We have a Sorento auto and it's just great towing or not. Great diesel engine too and I wouldn't now go back to a manual

Always tow with automatics and have done for years.

Auto for every time.  Once you have one you will never go back to a 3 pedal car.

I have been driving since 1959 and moved to auto in 1992.  All my subsequent cars have been autos and I will never go back to a manual. 

Auto is very reliable now and perfect for towing; so relaxed and easy and more so when reversing and manoeuvring.

Manual is dead - long live auto!!

Auto for me, it great

The diesel automatics are much better for towing purposes as they produce more torque at low revs ,so much for towing, hill starts and pulling away,less wear and tear on the engine and less stress on the driver.

if towing with an automatic its worth considering getting a dedicated wiring harness for the towbar a bit more expensive but hill assist,antisway,and gear ratio are all optimised for towing   

That really doesn't apply any more. The latest generation of petrol engines is quite on par with diesels with respect to low end torque.

I will find out on Monday as it will be the first tow with an auto, and petrol at that, after years of manual diesel  tow cars
