Flat Towing a 350 SDL? (One Big Dingy!)

I have a waste vegetable oil powered motor coach and I want to tow my waste oil powered MB 350 SDL as a "toad" or "dingy" behind the bus.

The 40' bus is powerful. It has a 10,000 lb hitch, and should be able to pull the large sedan around no problems, but can this car be towed safely as a Dingy?

All four wheels would be on the ground.

Attributes of a good toad vehicle are that it can be towed unlimited distances with unlimited speed restrictions, with all four wheels on the ground. Even better, are those vehicles that do not rack up mileage when being towed. It should be quick and easy to go from a towed state to a driving state.

I have not found any information about this vehicle being towable, as I am sure you can imagine, is not an obvious choice as a dingy vehicle.

Since I want to match my Veggie powered car with my veggie powered bus, and fuel is free, it makes sense to me.

Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks!
