Hello fellow toyota owners, new member here, i plan on towing my 2012 tacoma 4x4 trd sport behind our 33 ft diesel motor home, it will be flat towed, eventually maybe a dollie. I will remove rear drive shaft, does the front drive shaft have to be removed also? And does the steering wheel have to be locked or unlocled? A true rookie at flat towing i will admitt.
