I'm assuming were talking about a manual trans here, auto's vary but for the most part, drop the drive shaft. Leaving the motor running (atuo trans) is an interesting option though. That could be an easy solution for a short to medium tow distance with an auto trans!

As per Ford, all manual 4X2 and 4X4's can be towed for an unlimited distance without dropping the drive shaft. I don't know about GM, but I bet it has similiar guidelines for their manual trans.
