Towing a FJ Cruiser

[DonJ]

My mom is looking for a vehicle to tow behind a motor home. She likes the new FJ Cruiser. However, the dealer was not sure if it could be flat towed. (Thinks it would be too much work to place on a trailer.) Does anyone know if the FJ can be flat towed behind a motor home? Does it need the manual transmission to do this? Transfer case in 2 or 4 wheel?
Thanks.

Owners manual says no to all of them. I think the only way to do it with out hurting anything would be to disconect the drive lines at front and rear diffs.

It can only be towed with all 4 wheels off the ground... Sorry don't think this is the truck for the job.

Isn't the "N" position on the transfer case for towing? I thought I read this in the owner's manual.

dual axle trailer solves this problem.

The following is from Page 237 of the owners manual

you can also have it idle all the way through and put the transfer in N
but then the tree huggin hippies and your pocket will start bitching.

Thanks for the help. I guess she will have to look for something else. Maybe a FJ40

Which transmission/4wd system does she have?
