Four–Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of the vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available and the transfer case is operable, the vehicle may be towed (in the forward direction, with ALL wheels on the ground), IF the transfer case is in NEUTRAL and the transmission is in PARK (for automatic transmissions) or in gear ( NOT in NEUTRAL , for manual transmissions). Refer to “Recreational Towing” in “Starting And Operating” for detailed instructions.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used.
Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when towing.
• Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe damage to the transmission and/or transfer case. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
