Flat towing question.
I just purchased a tow bar to to our toy (Suzuki Samuri) to the Bloomsburg, PA 4X4 nationals. I have always towed using a trailer before and was wondering if I need to secure the steering wheel in the towed vehicle or let it free. Does anyone else flat tow a second vehicle? I know I have to disconnect the rear drive shaft but I am unsure about the steering wheel. I am towing with an 03 F-250 V-10.

"A. The steering on a towed car should always be unlocked while towing. The key should be in the unlocked position in your ignition. On most vehicles the unlocked position is one "click" ahead of the lock position. On some cars this is also the accessory position so you may have to make sure all your accessories, such as your radio and heater fan, are turned off while you are towing. "

OK I'll just slip the transfer case into neutral and roll with it. Thanks for the tips.
