What happens to a Jaguar X-type if you were to "tow" it by simply attaching a strap to it and just pull it all the way to your destination?

 

Not recommended.

 

Owner's Manual =
Caution:
• This vehicle has an all-wheel drive
(AWD) transmission system. Do
NOT tow the vehicle with the front
wheels lifted unless the propshaft
to the rear wheels is disconnected
at the final drive flange. If the
propshaft is not disconnected, the
rotating rear wheels will force the
front wheels to rotate, even with the
gear selector in neutral.
• The vehicle can be towed with all
four wheels on the ground,
provided there is no damage to the
transmission, for a maximum
distance of 30 miles (50 kilometres)
with the speed not exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).
Automatic transmission
To prevent damage to the automatic
transmission whilst an AWD vehicle is
being towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, towing distance must be
restricted to 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometres).
Towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
