It depends on how much traffic there is, how bad the rain is, and how fast you're driving. Definitely stay further behind the car in front of you if it's very heavy rain or if you're on the highway, but it's also safer to stay at least several car lengths (3-5 seconds) behind even in light rain or in slow traffic, because roads can always be slippery.

How many feet away should you be behind a car towing?

The same distance you should be behind any vehicle. 3 seconds is what most experts recommend on dry pavement. In heavy traffic, at night, or when weather conditions are not ideal (eg. light rain, light fog, light snow), double the three second rule to six seconds, for added safety. If the weather conditions are very poor, eg. heavy rain, heavy fog, or heavy snow, start by tripling the three second rule to nine seconds to determine a safe following distance.
