Both the manual shift and electronic shift transfer cases must be shifted into N (Neutral) for recreational towing. Automatic transmissions must be shifted into PARK for recreational towing. Refer to the following for the proper transfer case N (Neutral) shifting procedure for your vehicle.
DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Towing with only one set of wheels on the ground (front or rear) will cause severe transmission and/or transfer case damage. Tow with all four wheels either ON the ground, or OFF the ground (using a vehicle trailer).
Tow only in the forward direction. Towing this vehicle backwards can cause severe damage to the transfer case.
Before recreational towing, the transfer case must be in N (Neutral). To be certain the transfer case is fully in N (Neutral), perform the procedure outlined under “Shifting Into N (Neutral)”. Internal transmission damage will result, if the transfer case is not in N (Neutral) during towing.
The transmission must be placed in PARK for recreational towing.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the previously listed requirements can cause severe transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Do not disconnect the rear driveshaft because fluid will leak from the transfer case, causing damage to internal parts.
Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be damaged.
