Read the owner's manual for the truck to determine; they are the best source.

the quick answer is; yes, if you have a neutral position on your 4 wheel drive shift lever or button. If it is pushbutton type, most can't be, although one or two can engage neutral by pushing the correct two buttons at the same time. You need to get the model number off the transfer tag to be sure.If you still have the owner's manual, it explains which ones that can be towed 4 down.

Ed, the MotorHome and FMCA listings are your best source of information. I have found the owner's manual, on newer vehicles, are not real clear about this issue if they don't recommend it. On the models that are towable, they have been clear and to the point on the three models I have towed 4 down.
