im a recovery guy in the army so i tow a lot of vehicles. just make damn sure the vehicle you plan to flat tow supports that. all of out equipment is designed to be towed a decent distance with out it messing anything up. some of our big trucks like the LMTV need the drive shafts removed if they are going to be flat towed more than 25 miles. in theory you can flat tow everything as long as you don't go very far. HMMWVs (hummers) just need the transfer put in neutral and trans in neutral then i can drag its ass all over the world with no issue what so ever BUT its designed to do that because the transfer doesn't circulate fluid like a transmission, its more like a diff in that aspect.
if you are worried even if the vehicle is designed to be flat towed just put it on a trailer and be worrie free.
