Towing Your Vehicle

Consult your dealer/retailer or a professional towing
service if you need to have your disabled vehicle towed.
See Roadside Service on page 7-6.
If you want to tow your vehicle behind another vehicle
for recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome),
see Recreational Vehicle Towing following.

Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle
behind another vehicle – such as behind a motorhome.
The two most common types of recreational vehicle
towing are known as "dinghy towing" (towing your vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground) and "dolly towing"
(towing your vehicle with two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device known as a "dolly").
With the proper preparation and equipment, many
vehicles can be towed in these ways. See "Dinghy
Towing" and "Dolly Towing," following.
