Towing the Vehicle
To avoid damage, the disabled
vehicle should be towed with all
four wheels off the ground. Consult
your dealer or a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle must
be towed. See Roadside Service on
page 13‑5.
To tow the 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 the vehicle behind
another vehicle – such as behind
a motorhome. The two most
common types of recreational
vehicle towing are known as “dinghy
towing” — towing the vehicle with
all four wheels on the ground, and
“dolly towing” — towing the vehicle
with two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device known
as a “dolly”.
Here are some important things to
consider before recreational vehicle
towing:
. What is the towing capacity of
the tow 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
This full‐time four‐wheel‐drive
vehicle can be dinghy towed from
the front. These vehicles can also
be towed by placing them on a
platform trailer with all four wheels
off the ground. These vehicles
cannot be towed using a dolly.
