The big issue with towing with a manual vehicle is the lack of torque converter torque multiplication.
Whereas a torque converter can happily slip as needed (ever drive an E53 X5 3.0?), you're using up the clutch whenever you do that. So you tend to have a lot more available power off the line in an auto.
