Towing a Ford Escape Hybrid Auto-Trans, 2WD

After many years of traveling with my travel trailer in tow, I finally switched to RVing in a Class A MH. I am looking to purchase a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid to serve as my dingy. For those who tow a Ford Escape Hybrid using a tow dolly: Other than putting the transmission in neutral, securing the steering wheel, and releasing the parking brake is there any other precaution I need to consider or required step I need to make before towing with the rear 2 wheels down?
  • If I recall the Hybrid Escape does not need a dolly. It willtow 4 down. If I have to use a dolly again I give up RVing.
