mksubaru Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 does this car have to be towed on a flat bed trailer or can it be towed with a tow dolly with the front wheels up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiffy Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 if you have to push a button to engage the 4wd than you can tow it with just the front wheels up on a dolly... otherwise it's AWD and needs a flatbed, or the rear drive train disabled (which I think you can do by jumping some wires)... --Spiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manarius Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 If I were you, I would tow it flatbed. I wouldn't want to take chances with the most expensive part of my car - pushbutton 4WD or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 As long as the 5-speed is not FT4WD/AWD then dolly trailering is OK. Automatics are different. No wiring to "disable" rear drive for towing... have to pull driveshaft or axle shafts to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my 5spd push-button 4wd turbo wagon towed a few times with the wheels rolling... --Spiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
