RECREATIONAL TOWING

An example of “recreational towing” is towing your vehicle behind a
motorhome.

Your vehicle may be

Љflat-towedЉ (all wheels on the ground) by shifting

the transmission into Neutral. This is permitted for Front Wheel Drive
(FWD) or Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles. Your vehicle may be towed
up to a speed of 75 mph (120 km/h) but you should always obey local
speed limits.

You also have the option of trailering the vehicle with its front wheels on
a dolly (FWD only), or trailering with all four wheels off the ground.

For other towing requirements, refer to Wrecker towing in the Roadside
Emergencies
chapter.
