I went to Remco and they don't have any listings for Tacomas older than 2000....but I don't believe there were any differences. The 2000 is towable as is with the same configuration of yours. In addition, I have an 86 Toy p/u with the same configuration and we towed it to Alaska and back. We do have selectable hubs (I don't know if you do or not), but all I ever did was put the trans in neutral (left the transfer case in 2w high), turned the key to ACC and made sure the hubs weren't engaged. Never had a problem and it runs today like it did when it was new.
So, that said, if an 86 and a 00 is towable, I would bet that your 97 is also.
Hope this helps

Sounds the opposite of the way it should be, but then I'm thinking Jeep 4 x 4 here, whereas we put the transfer case in neutral and the auto tranny in park or the manual tranny in top gear. Now we're good to go forever at any speed and the newer Wranglers don't have a steering lock to contend with,so no key in the ignition, no fuse pulling or battery disconnecting either.
