Can you post a link to the manual?

A 2WD (ie NO transfer case) has to be towed with the rear wheels off the ground.
You say you have a second shifter to select 4WD?
Even if you run in 2WD most of the time, you have a transfer case and you can tow it (according to the above link).
Ignore the bit about clamping the steering wheel, that is in the wrong place and only applies if you are towing backwards with the rear wheels off the ground.
In fact those pages are VERY badly written and actually contradict themselves as a couple of paragraphs later (section 4-45) they tell you to move the key to the accessory position to unlock the steering wheel!
Same manual I was looking at, this may sound like a stupid question, but wouldn't you want your steering wheel in an unlocked position if you were towing with the back wheels up so that they turn and do not damage your steering? Sally
