Dinghy Towing

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all of its

wheels on the ground. If you have a two

-wheel-drive

vehicle, it can be towed with two of its wheels on the

ground. See “Dolly Towing” following. If you have an

all

-wheel-drive vehicle, it cannot be towed with any of

its wheels on the ground. It can be towed with car

carrier equipment.

NOTICE:

Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle with all four

wheels on the ground, or even with only two of its

wheels on the ground, will damage drivetrain

components. Don’t tow an all

-wheel-drive vehicle

if any of its wheels will be on the ground.
