2015 2WD Toyota Tacoma
Can I tow a 2015 2WD Toyota Tacoma with an automatic transmission four wheels down or on a dolly? Any help would be appreciated.

NOTICE To avoid serious damage to your vehicle Do not tow your vehicle with four wheels on the ground.
We wanted a small truck that we could tow and actually wanted a manual transmission. Toyota Tacoma was our "gold standard" but we also looked at Nissan Frontier and Ford Ranger (which was still in production). Frontier actually outpointed Tacoma in driving and ride comfort. Ranger was spunky but hard ride. Found out what's noted above - Not even the Manual Transmission Tacoma is OK'd by Toyota to tow four down.
Used to be, a 4*4 could be towed, even with automatic, by putting the Transfer Case in Neutral. At least Many, if not Most... But the late model TC's do not have Neutral! So that capability went away.
Ranger with manual shift was towable up to a certain speed, Frontier is towable without speed limitations but wants the engine run in neutral every few hours. Run while hooking up, again after lunch, either for running around in the evening or before towing again next day. Absolutely no big deal. Same plan as the CR-V
