Emergency towing from rear eyelet safe?
Manual says to not tow ISF backwards with all four wheels on ground or damage to transmission may occur? SO why do they have a rear eyelet socket?? This would be for track low speed emergency towing only and only if towing from front was not accessible. Anyone have any valid info on this?

Ya, I suspect the transmission may overheat if towed in neutral at higher speeds for long distances since the motor is off and no converter spinning. That's probably why they made that statement in the manual.
