Dinghy Towing
Use the following procedure to tow your vehicle:
1. Shift the transmission to PARK (P).
2. Turn the engine off, but leave the ignition in
ACCESSORY.
3. Firmly set the parking brake.
4. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the
tow vehicle.
{CAUTION:
Shifting a full-time 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.
5. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N).
See Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive on
page 128 for the proper procedure to select
the NEUTRAL position for your vehicle.
6. Release the parking brake only after the
vehicle being towed is firmly attached to
the towing vehicle. You can use your vehicle’s
front mounted receiver with the proper
accessories to tow it. See “Front Mounted
Receiver” under If Your Vehicle is Stuck
in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 357.
7. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY.
8. Disconnect the battery if you are going to tow
for long distances or long periods of time.
When towing your vehicle for extended periods of
time, start your vehicle as often as possible to
prevent battery drain. This should only be
done when the tow vehicle is parked.
Dolly Towing
Your vehicle cannot be dolly towed. If you must
tow your vehicle behind another, use the
dinghy towing procedure listed previously.
Notice: Dolly towing your vehicle will damage
drivetrain components. Do not dolly tow
your vehicle.
