Flat towing a Toyota 4Runner

I have a '97 4x4 4Runner (with over 400,000 miles, BTW :)) that I'd like to toad flat, if possible. Is anybody doing this?
  • Manual or auto trans, chances are manual no problem, auto big problem with driveshaft connected.
  • What others do may cost you a 4Runner. Check with the manufacturer.
  • You could check Motorhome Magazine's 1997 Dinghy Lists, and cross reference to your owner's manual. The OM, and contacting the manufacturer, are the gospels on whether you can tow it 4 down, or not.
