Personally, yes, I sometimes do it for short distances (few hundred ft). But based on my friend's response, I sure wouldn't recommend even that to anyone.

That's really vague, though. Just about anything can be flat towed for a fair distance before the manufacturer says that it needs to be trailered. Often, they have a top speed at which this should be done, as well.

I'm trying to find the info for my Caravan, but I haven't been able to find an online operator manual yet. (I'm not trying too hard, really.)
