What vehicles can be towed?

Rule Number 1 : the vehicle must be under 750kgs before you can tow it behind another vehicle

Hi Maaate,
Try this, it may help but you may also find variations state to state

Maaate,

This question will bring many answers.

Suzuki have a specific note in the manual regarding being towed.
it roughly states that the vehicle can be towed with the transfer box in Neutral and the gearbox in 2nd gear.
Why? towing with the transfer box in high and the gearbox in neutral has the potential for the gearlever to vibrate and mesh, droping it into 2nd or 4th, this will then turn the engine over with all the issues that can cause.

The manufacture's instruction/suggestion prevents this from happening. Also they suggest that the vehicle be started every 300kms for lubrication, towing a vehicle will vibrate the engine and gearbox sufficently so that there is no residule oil covering bearings, valves, gears etc.

There is no issue towing with all 4 wheels on the ground, only if you put 2 wheels on a caddy, then the suggestion is to disconnect a propshaft.

With a transfer box in neutral, Autos in neutral make no difference as the gears in the box are disconnected. (no oil issues execpt for the vibration draining any residual oil in the box to the sump).

If you need to tow a 4WD put the transfer box in neutral, on an constant 4WD. If either front or back lifted, put in Neutral and disconnect a driveshaft.

So on 4WD's flat towing;

Conventional (Part time) 4WD can be towed, (see Suzuki above)
Constant 4WD can be towed but caution and put transfer box in neutral.

Front Wheel drives and rear wheel drives (no transfer box) I would not flat tow, lift the drive wheels. (which is what towies do).

I reckon that was about 6 cents worth.
