novakdesolation Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I have a 96 4x4, and need to tow it on a tow dolly about 900 miles. Would I be crazy to do so, or would I be OK as long as the drive shaft is disconnected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroeser01 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Two wheel drive vehicles with auto tranny may be towed with the rear wheels on a towing dolly with no mileage restriction as long as you obey the speed limit, if all four corners are grounded its advised no more than 50 miles at a time or tranny damage will happen. I take it yours is part time 4x4? If so leave it in Neutral but the book says to keep it to 500 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfounder Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 If you remove the drive shaft, tow it all you want. Damage comes from the fact that the transmission isn't lubricated properly when the output shaft is turning, and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
