2015 2WD Toyota Tacoma

[upsdrew]

Can I tow a 2015 2WD Toyota Tacoma with an automatic transmission four wheels down or on a dolly? Any help would be appreciated.

That driveshaft disconnect is a love/hate product. When I was looking for a truck, an OP here said he was towing a 2WD Tacoma with automatic using a driveshaft disconnect. Said he could drive what he liked and tow it too. Later said he couldn't stand the problems with the disconnect and traded the truck for something else. I'm NOT saying don't go that way, but I do encourage you to research and think carefully.
Personally, I've taken an oath to not try to make a toad out of a vehicle that wasn't OK according to the manufacturer. So far I've been able to do that. With latest developments in automobiledom, not sure it'll always be that way.

Yes you can WITH a remco driveshaft disconnect. I towed my 2007 dbl cab for while with the roadmaster 1175-1 baseplate and remco disconnect. I changed toads but still have the equipment in my shed not being used.

We wanted a small truck that we could tow and actually wanted a manual transmission. Toyota Tacoma was our "gold standard" but we also looked at Nissan Frontier and Ford Ranger (which was still in production). Frontier actually outpointed Tacoma in driving and ride comfort. Ranger was spunky but hard ride. Found out what's noted above - Not even the Manual Transmission Tacoma is OK'd by Toyota to tow four down.

Used to be, a 4*4 could be towed, even with automatic, by putting the Transfer Case in Neutral. At least Many, if not Most... But the late model TC's do not have Neutral! So that capability went away.

Ranger with manual shift was towable up to a certain speed, Frontier is towable without speed limitations but wants the engine run in neutral every few hours. Run while hooking up, again after lunch, either for running around in the evening or before towing again next day. Absolutely no big deal. Same plan as the CR-V

Not without disconnecting the drive shaft. The only other way is to get a tow dolly and load the truck on backwards so the rear wheels are not on the ground. I was thinking about buying a Tacoma until I found out they can towed 4 down, not even the 4 wheel drive models.

I've owned many Toyotas and have always been told you can't tow 4 down.

Most Toyota's I've read about don't like to be towed 4 down. I'd feel better reading something from Toyota rather than a internet forum :W
Google 2015 Toyota Tacoma owners manual, I bet it's list there.

The short answer is yes. I have no knowledge of your truck, but you can definitely drop the drive shaft and tow it four down or on a dolly if you don't mind crawling under the truck for a few minutes. Pretty simple procedure.

What does the owners manual say on the subject?
