Anyone flat tow Toyota Tacoma 4x4

Remco says no. However, maybe you can deal a driveshaft disconnect with the dealer. Wouldn't hurt to try.

In 2010, we were looking to replace our 86 Toy PU 4x4 and really wanted an RAV4...but alas, it too (as were all Toyotas) was not recommended for 4-down towing. I was very leery of GM products but our search was narrowed to the Equinox and Terrain. We chose the Terrain for it's unconventional design and would you believe after almost 50,000 miles, it hasn't even hiccuped....I mean not one thing has gone wrong with it. As Gomer would say: surprise, surprise.

Thanks for the replys guess I will look for a different rig

msmith: Since at least 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4x4's do NOT have a neutral position for the transfer case. I used a DS disconnect.

I currently flat tow a 2005 Tacoma 4X4 xtended cab, six speed manual tranny. No problems at all. Been doing it for about 4yrs.

-paul, you tow with transfer case 2WD High and manual transmission Neutral, correct?
If so, that matches Nissan's instructions for manual transmission Frontier, but doesn't help (read that "doesn't allow") towing with automatic transmission.

That is correct. The transfer case is in the 2WD High position and the manual tranny (6 speed) is in neutral. Also, I need to keep the key in the ACC position. The truck does not clock any mileage while in tow.

Same as our Frontier. Only difference is Nissan says OK to tow the manual transmission-equipped Frontier and Toyota said don't tow any of their Tacomas. I would venture, however, that there's not much reason not to. Nissan wants the engine idled in Neutral every several hours. I forget how many and won't worry about it since we don't go that far.

I tow a 2003 toyota tacoma v6 crew cab automatic 4 wheel drive. I use a remco drive shaft disconnect that I found used for half price of a new one. It works great and I've had it a few times on some hairy off road tours with no problems.

I checked it out when I first started looking for something to tow. I have a 1992 toyota truck 4x4 5 speed V6 auto hubs said it can't be towed.
