Towing Tacoma behind RV

Read all the information about towing with a Tacoma. Great information, but my question is whether a Tacoma can safely be towed with all four wheels on the ground behind an RV. I have an '04, V-6, w/ 4WD and an Auto trans.

 

I don't think so. Has to do with the transmission still moving and nothing being lubed. I think...............

 

my manual says not to use it as a tow vehicle unless on a flat trailer

 

Are there any modifications that can be performed to allow a 99 Toy SR5 4x4 w/Auto Trans to be towed behind a motorhome? I'll assume that putting the transfer case in neutral is not sufficient?

 

You cannot tow your taco with an auto tranny. If you do so you will do severe damage to the transmission. There are some vehicles with automatics you can tow but they have a special set up to do so, a Taco isn’t one of them. You have 3 choices - 1) tow it on a trailer. 2) disconnect your drive shaft to your rear wheels when towing which would be a major hassle 3) buy a vehicle that is set up to be towed.

 

Pull the driveshaft.

 

surely theres a company out there that makes a driveshaft quick disconnect for this application..

 

I don't think a driveshaft is something you would want a quick disconnect on

 

I agree completely, but I'm sure there is something out there. I see RVs pulling full size half ton trucks on the ground all the time.. (and most if not all of those are automatics)

 

Don’t assume that people know what they’re doing.
