Dolly Towing (Two-Wheel Drive
Models Only)
Your vehicle should not be towed with all four wheels
on the ground. Your transmission has no provision for
internal lubrication while being towed. To properly tow
your vehicle, it should be placed on a platform trailer
with all four wheels off the ground. Towing with all
four wheels on the ground should be avoided.
In rare cases when it’s unavoidable and your vehicle
must be towed with all four wheels on the ground, the
propeller shaft to axle yoke orientation should be
marked and the propeller shaft removed following the
applicable service manual removal/installation
procedure. See “Service and Owner Publications” in
the Index.
Dust or dirt can enter the back of the transmission
through the opening created by removing the propeller
shaft if proper protection is not provided. Also, check
the transmission fluid level before driving the vehicle.
Use the following steps to dolly tow your vehicle:
Put the front wheels on a dolly.
Put the vehicle in PARK (P).
Set the parking brake and then remove the key.
Disconnect the propshaft as described above.
Clamp the steering wheel in a straight
-ahead position
with a clamping device designed for towing.
Release the parking brake.
