The maximum recommended speed is 88 km/h (55 mph).

The maximum recommended distance is unlimited.

The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transfer case components.

In addition, it is recommended that you follow the instructions
provided by the aftermarket manufacturer of the towing
apparatus if one has been installed.

4x2 equipped with automatic transmission and 4x4 vehicles:

4x2 vehicles with automatic transmissions or 4x4 vehicles with an
electronic-shift transfer case and automatic transmission, follow these
guidelines for recreational towing:

Release the parking brake.

Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF/UNLOCKED position.

Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

Do not exceed a distance of 80 km (50 miles).

The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no

If a distance of 80 km (50 miles) or a speed of 56 km/h (35 mph) must
be exceeded, you must disconnect the front (4x4 only) and rear

by a qualified technician. See your local dealer for driveshaft
removal/installation.

Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft can cause
transmission fluid or transfer case fluid loss, damage to the
driveshaft and internal transmission and transfer case
components.
