Honestly wanted to buy out the car in the end, so i took care of the vehicle, installed and did everything i wanted

Initially plan was to pull a droplet trailer but since covid 19 hit plan was cancelled so no, never towed anything. Also i doubt the engine will be damaged if u exceed tow rating, i woulf say the transmission would suffer abit

That is very nice of him, keep in mind tho, dealership is a flat rate world, the more cars they can bang out the better pay, so they tend not to go into details, and the thing is warranty time usually blows and techs has to go out of their way to diagnose a problem sometimes. A good dealership...
