If it's a standard tranny, yes it can be flat towed


Are you saying any standard shift can be towed? I have a standard Dodge Dakota and the manual says only the 4x4 version can be flat towed.

quote:

If it's a 4x4, regardless of transmission, it can be flat towed, by putting the transfer case in Neutral.


I know the Jeep Wrangler standard and automatic 4x4’s can be flat towed but I don’t think that applies to all brands with 4x4s.

We've towed all over the country for years with standard tranny vehicles.

I will have to say that 90% were 4x4, though, and just kicked the transfer case to N.....

As of the 2016 edition, no Toyotas can be flat towed. Motorhome Magazine puts out a towing guide each year and lists all makes and models that can be towed 4 down. I bought a Ford Explorer for this reason. Jeeps are the easiest ones to tow, that's why you see so many, but they are definitely not the only ones.
