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 2-36 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 4-39.
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.
