    If a Tacoma is towed using the rear wheel lift method, can it cause any damage to the suspension or frame? Got towed on Thursday... [​IMG]

    I had it in 2WD mode... I was towed out of a parking lot because they said parking there wasn't allowed. Not a good day for me.

    THIS! does not matter if it’s in 4wd or not it can still damage stuff.

    edit. but no damage should come to the frame or anything like that if it was done right.
