I tried it once, never again.  The frame extensions flexed so much that it
literally buckled the sheet metal in the front apron.  Get a tow dolly at
least, better yet a trailer.

If you do tow with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure to disconnect the
driveshaft if you are going very far or very fast.  There is a bearing in
the gearbox that doesn't get lubed properly when the engine is not running.
