RECREATIONAL
TOWING (BEHIND
MOTORHOME, ETC.)
Towing Two-Wheel Drive Models
Recreational Towing (All Four Wheels On
The Ground)
Recreational towing is allowed ONLY
if the driveshaft is removed. Towing
with the rear wheels on the ground
while the driveshaft is connected can
result in severe transmission
damage.
The parking brake must be firmly
engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to
the tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper
driveshaft removal and reinstallation
procedures, including flange
orientation/alignment, use of
thread-locking compound, proper
bolt torque specifications, etc.
NOTE: This vehicle may be towed on a
flatbed or vehicle trailer provided all four
wheels are OFF the ground.

These models do not have a
NEUTRAL position in the transfer
case.
NOTE: This vehicle may be towed on a
flatbed or vehicle trailer provided all four
wheels are OFF the ground.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the
DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts should not
be used. Internal damage to the
transmission or transfer case will
occur if a front or rear wheel lift is
used when recreational towing.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which
could cause serious injury or death.
