RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME)
Towing - Two-Wheel Drive
Models
• Recreational towing with all fourwheels on the ground is allowed ONLY
if the rear driveshaft is removed. See
your authorized dealer or refer to the
Service Manual. Towing with the rear
wheels on the ground while the
driveshaft is connected can result in
severe transmission damage.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which could
cause serious injury or death.
• The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to the
tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper driveshaft
removal and reinstallation procedures,
including flange orientation/alignment,
use of thread-locking compound,
proper bolt torque specifications, etc.
