Hello good people, here I am again in need of your valuable advise and recommendations. I just purchased a Suzuki Vitara 2002 stick shift and 2WD because it was within the towable range of my motorhome and I prefer the high suspension. I have already purchased the tow bar and brackets for it but As I was reading the manual It shows that the truck is being towed with the back wheels on a dolly. My question is can you dinghy tow this truck also when you put it in neutral or this might damage the tranny. Your help is greatly appreciated. thank you.
It is not listed in any towing guide that I have. I towed an earlier model and the owners manual stated only a 4 wheel drive with the transfer case in neutral could be towed 4 down.
Some may say that they have towed a 2 wheel drive, 4 down.
What it says in the manual. The Suzuki SUV models, and their Geo and Chevrolet counterparts, become towable by virtue of a neutral gear in the transfer case of the 4x4 models. The transmission gets put into a gear that keeps it from trying to spin.
