Driving RECREATIONAL TOWING An example of "recreational towing" is towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. If your vehicle is automatic transmission equipped, with a 4x2 (front-wheel drive only) configured powertrain, "recreational towing" is permitted by trailering the vehicle with its front wheels on a dolly. This protects the transmission's internal mechanical components from potential lack of lubrication damage. If your vehicle is manual transaxle equipped and 2WD or 4WD, shifting the transaxle into neutral permits "flat-towing" (all wheels on the ground) for pulling behind a motorhome. Your vehicle may be towed up to a speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) but you should always obey local speed limits. If your vehicle is automatic transaxle equipped and 4WD (all-wheel drive), "recreational towing" is permitted only if the vehicle is trailered with all four (4) wheels off the ground. Otherwise, no "recreational towing" is permitted. For other towing requirements, refer to Wrecker Towing in the Roadside emergencies chapter. 154
