How much can I tow in a Buick Regal?

Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Regal’s towing capacity.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
