Dolly towing is towing the vehicle with two
wheels on the ground and two wheels up
on a device known as a dolly.
Here are some important things to consider
before recreational vehicle towing:
What is the towing capacity of the
towing vehicle? Be sure to read the tow
vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
What is the distance that will be
traveled? Some vehicles have restrictions
on how far and how long they can tow.
Is the proper towing equipment going to
be used? See your dealer or trailering
professional for additional advice and
equipment recommendations.
Is the vehicle ready to be towed? Just as
preparing the vehicle for a long trip,
make sure the vehicle is prepared to be
towed.
Caution
Use of a shield mounted in front of the
vehicle grille could restrict airflow and
cause damage to the transmission. The
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. If using a shield, only
use one that attaches to the towing
vehicle.
Dinghy Towing (Front-Wheel-Drive
Vehicles)
Caution
If the vehicle is towed with all four
wheels on the ground, the drivetrain
components could be damaged. The
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not tow the vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground.
The vehicle was not designed to be towed
with all four wheels on the ground.
Vehicle Care
Dinghy Towing (All-Wheel-Drive
Vehicles Only)
To dinghy tow the vehicle from the front
with all four wheels on the ground:
1. Position the vehicle behind the tow
vehicle, lining it up with the tow bar.
2. Leave the vehicle running. Shift the
transmission to N (Neutral).
3. Apply the parking brake to prevent
vehicle rollaway.
4. Connect the vehicle to the tow bar
hardware.
5. Release the parking brake.
