Front Attachment Points

The vehicle is equipped with specific
attachment points to be used by the towing

Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing
the vehicle behind another vehicle, such as
behind a motor home. The two most
common types of recreational vehicle
towing are known as dinghy towing and
dolly towing. Dinghy towing is towing the
vehicle with all four wheels on the ground.
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.
