Dolly Towing
Two-Wheel-Drive Vehicles
Two-wheel-drive vehicles should not be dolly towed.
Two-wheel-drive transmissions have no provisions
for internal lubrication while being towed. To properly
tow these vehicles, they should be placed on a platform
trailer with all four wheels off the ground.
Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicles
Four-wheel-drive vehicles can be dolly towed with
the rear wheels on the ground.
Use the following procedure to tow your vehicle:
1. Drive the vehicle onto the tow dolly.
2. Shift the automatic transmission to PARK (P).
3. Turn the engine off, but leave the ignition on.
4. Firmly set the parking brake.
5. Securely attach the vehicle being towed
to the dolly.
{CAUTION:
Shifting a four-wheel-drive vehicle’s transfer
case into NEUTRAL can cause your vehicle
to roll even if the transmission is in Park (P).
You or others could be injured. Make sure
the parking brake is firmly set before you shift
the transfer case to NEUTRAL.
6. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL. See
Four-Wheel Drive on page 2-26 for the proper
procedure to select the NEUTRAL position for
your vehicle.
7. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle
being towed is firmly attached to the towing
vehicle.
8. Turn the ignition off and lock the steering column.
