Vehicle Care

Here are some important things to
consider before recreational vehicle
towing:

.

What is the towing capacity
of the towing vehicle?
Be sure to read the tow
vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.

.

What is the distance that will be
travelled? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.

.

Is the proper towing equipment
going to be used? See your
dealer or trailering professional
for additional advice and
equipment recommendations.

.

Is the vehicle ready to be
towed? Just as preparing the
vehicle for a long trip, make sure
the vehicle is prepared to be
towed.

Dinghy Towing

Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles

Notice: If the vehicle is towed
with all four wheels on the
ground, the drivetrain
components could be damaged.

The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
tow the 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.
