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.

Here are some important things to consider before you

do recreational vehicle towing:

• What’s the towing 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 tow.

• 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 4-38.

Dinghy Towing

Two-Wheel-Drive Vehicles

Notice: If you tow a two-wheel-drive vehicle with all

four wheels on the ground, the transmission could be

damaged. The repairs would not be covered by your

warranty. Do not tow a two-wheel-drive vehicle with

all four wheels on the ground.

Two-wheel-drive vehicles should not be towed with all

four wheels on the ground. Two-wheel-drive

transmissions have no provisions for internal lubrication

while being towed.
