Toyota Aqua recovery and towing

The Aqua is one of the most popular imported hybrids in Pakistan, used by families and ride-hailing drivers for its fuel economy. Most here are the first-generation model imported from Japan. As a hybrid with an electronic CVT, the Aqua must travel on a flatbed; towing with the front wheels on the ground can spin the motor-generators and damage the hybrid transaxle.
