Towing

Towing Your Vehicle

Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if

you need to have your disabled vehicle towed. See

Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6.

If you want to tow your vehicle behind another vehicle

for recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome),

see “Recreational Vehicle Towing” following.

Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle

behind another vehicle – such as behind a motorhome.

The two most common types of recreational vehicle

towing are known as “dinghy towing” (towing your

vehicle with all four wheels on the ground) and “dolly

towing” (towing your vehicle with two wheels on

the ground and two wheels up on a device known as

a “dolly”).

With the proper preparation and equipment, many

vehicles can be towed in these ways. See “Dinghy

Towing” and “Dolly Towing,” following. You may

also need brakes for the vehicle being towed. See your

dealer for additional trailering information.

Here are some important things to consider before you

do recreational vehicle towing:

• What’s the trailering capacity of the towing vehicle?

Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer’s

recommendations.

• How far will you tow? Some vehicles have

restrictions on how far and how long they can be

towed.

• Do you have the proper towing equipment? See

your dealer or trailering professional for additional

advice and equipment recommendations.

• Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as you

would prepare your vehicle for a long trip, you’ll

want to make sure your vehicle is prepared to be

towed. See Before Leaving on a Long Trip on

page 4-34.
