Hello Fellow Tacoma Owners. I'm new so please forgive me if I'm asking something already asked. I searched but didn't find the answers.
This week I bought a 2008, Tacoma, 4door, 2wd, automatic trans. Prerunner.
After calling and doing some research about towing my Tacoma behind my motorhome (40 ft diesel pusher) I understand towing 4 wheels down is not an option.
After much talk with Toyota and other mechanics it seems I could tow it on a car dolly with the rear wheel of the truck on the dolly. Thus....tow it backwards, in park, steering wheel locked. Toyota says it will be fine and will not damage anything. Have any of you ever done this or know of someone who has done this?
Thanks in advance for your input.
