2004 Suzuki Vitara 5 speed 2 wheel drive

The 4WD transfer case has a neutral position which disconnects the drive train, thereby making the car towable 4 down.

According to Remco Towing Website:

What does it state in the OWNERS MANUAL?


Remco Towing Guide

Two wheel drive cannot be towed four down because the drive shaft turns the rear portion of the transmission. The lubrication does not get to this portion as the gears lubricate the back while driven from engine.
You maybe able to find drive line disconnect to prevent transmision from turning. Remco use to have them.

Check your vehicle's original manual. Or, if you think that it would be ok, and the warranty is out anyway, then tow away.

One thing I have seen some manufacturers suggest is to start the car and let it idle in neutral for a few minutes after a day of towing. This will allow it to push lubricant around in the trans case for a bit before driving.
