I had to go look at what it is. ;-)

Simple, go to a Chevy dealer and have them pull up the specs can it be towed 4 wheels on the ground.

Second, go to a Blue Ox dealer and find out if they can get and fit a hitch to it.

If you can't get answers to these questions, don 't consider it.

Just my thoughts, hope it helps.

The Motorhome magazine posts a free yearly lists of 4 down towables and what has to be done to make it so.

I have been looking and also there are several threads on JOF about towables.

The definitive resource for the answer is from the engineers who designed it which can be found in the owners manual.

2018 Dinghy towing guide shows Cherolet Spark as towable with manual transmission but not with automatic transmission. Notes show transmission (manual) to neutral and key to accessory. This likely means you will need a hot lead to your battery (or a battery minder) or you may run it down while towing for any distance.

etrailer.com shows baseplates from BlueOx, Demco and Roadmaster.

Bottom line, it appears a manual Spark is towable four down....not the automatic.

Just bought a 2014 manual Spark with the intentions of towing 4 down. Motorhome.com and the Spark manual both say it's do-able. 2300 lbs is hard to beat! Gets good reviews as well. I'm getting the Base Plate and towbar next week. I'll let you know how it works out.
