Nope book will tell you no. You would need to remove both drive shafts. Other wise flat bed it.

Even if its flat-towable,what are you towing it with? thats a lot more weight than most vehicles should pull without trailer brakes. I suppose a 40 ft Cat diesel powered motorhome or semi wouldnt be bothered by it,legality would still be questionable!
