Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / May 2005Towing a Tacoma
I'm thinking of getting a new 2005 Tacoma 4wd. Can an automatic Tacoma be towed 4 wheels down? My salesperson isn't sure. TIA >I'm thinking of getting a new 2005 Tacoma 4wd.

This info is also in every Tacoma manual on the lot. FWIW: While Toyota officially says no(to protect themselves) I have been towing a 99 4x4,5sp man. for over 2 years (8000 miles on one trip last summer) with no problems. You pay your money and takes your chances. I think if its an auto, put the tranny in park and the trans case in neutral. JMTCW >I'm thinking of getting a new 2005 Tacoma 4wd.

He said automatic! But he did say transfer case in Neutral, Id be interested to see what that does, if it does what I think it does, clever thinking. Painfully obvious and straight forward.

I am skeptical of this answer, especially after reading some of the posts here. Not being a current Toyota owner, I'm not sure. Hopefully, someone who is an owner and has experience will chime in with a definitive answer. I'd hate to go to Nissan or (shudder) Ford or Dodge for a truck! >Just to update you, my local salesman says Toyota told him that it can be >towed four wheels down.

Maybe a silly question but doesn't the odometer turn over when towed this way? Why not trailer it? > I'm thinking of getting a new 2005 Tacoma 4wd. Can an automatic Tacoma be > towed 4 wheels down?
