Although my qualm with those are if our Crossfires read the millage from the rear, we are racking up "body miles" not engine, but still would register on the odometer..
If the ignition key isn't in the "On" position, I don't think there would be any mileage adding up on the odometer.
Besides, everytime I use a "Dolly" to tow a rear wheel drive car, I usually disconnect the driveshaft.
The Crossfire would tow just fine on a dolly, it's a pretty light car. The owners manual tells you a lot of things not to do, that you can still get away with, with no problem. Chrysler is just looking out for their own "butts" some of the time. For instance, if you towed an automatic on a dolly, and just put the car in neautral, it would damage the tranny, but a manual would be fine. That's why I drop the drive shaft.
I'm with Jim (AMX1397) on this one.
