Dinghy Towing
If the vehicle is front-wheel
‐
drive, it
can be dinghy towed from the front.
These vehicles may also be towed
by putting the front wheels on a
dolly. See
“
Dolly Towing
”
later in
this section.
If the vehicle is all
‐
wheel
‐
drive, it
can be dinghy towed from the front.
These vehicles can also be towed
by placing them on a platform trailer
with all four wheels off of the
ground. These vehicles cannot be
towed using a dolly.
For vehicles being dinghy towed,
the vehicle should be run at the
beginning of each day and at each
RV fuel stop for about five minutes.
This will ensure proper lubrication of
transmission components. Reinstall
the fuse to start the vehicle.
To tow the vehicle from the front
with all four wheels on the ground:
1. Position the vehicle to be towed,
shift the transmission to
P (Park), and turn the ignition
to LOCK/OFF.
2. Secure the vehicle to the
towing vehicle.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition to ACC/
ACCESSORY.
5. Shift the transmission to
N (Neutral).
