    It should be outlined in the owners manual.

    I don't believe it can be done. Another downside of the electronic transfer case...

    From everything I've read if you're gonna tow it, disconnect the driveshaft.

    If it's like the 2007's, then it cannot be done without a modification that basically involves running a cable through to the transfer case that essentially manually puts it in neutral or disconnects the drive shaft(s) (as was said earlier, a downside of the electronic transfer case). This is why my dad bought a Dodge Ram to tow behind his RV because it had a "N" on the selector and could be put into neutral for towing electronically (as opposed to ours which does/can not). My dad thought about buying a Taco when I bought mine, but he asked this exact question and was referred to the service bay where the lead tech there told him that without modification (as outlined briefly above) you could not tow a Tacoma behind an RV.

    Sucks, but that's what I've heard about it.
