RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND
MOTORHOME, ETC.)

CAUTION!

Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal
damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur
if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational
towing.

Two-Wheel Drive Models

Recreational towing is allowed ONLY if the rear drive-
shaft 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 installa-
tion. 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.
