Towing a Tiptronic


Recommended Posts

Can I tow my BoxsterS Tiptronic behind my motorhome (4 wheels down/ not trailered)? Any thoughts on this?

I am thinking that would be covered in your owner's manual under the towing section. Usually is......and gives some guidance about what you can and cannot do. I just checked in my 997 Turbo, and 996 manuals with Tiptronic and

it suggests to only flatbed them. Do not tow unless all four wheels are off of the ground. So I am thinking it would NOT be a good idea...

Thanks, and yes that's what the book says but Porsche is always overly cautious. What may happen?

Well..I am no expert per se, but I would imagine with all of the parts grinding away in there without the proper fluid/lubrication flowing, you may end up with a nice case full of metal shavings??

I would certainly not risk it.....But your call.
