Do I--- Tow forward or backwards?
Im getting ready to tow a half ton 4x4 700 miles on a tow-dolly.
should I tow it with the rear wheels down or front wheels down??
The truck is an automatic with the push button 4x4, no lockouts.
If I tow it with front wheels on the dolly----should I pull the drive shaft?
thanks in advance, steve

Look in the owner's manual for the TOWED truck - it gives the towing procedure. If you can't find it, the '93 Bronco manual I have says pull the rear shaft, lift the front wheels, and don't go over 55mph.

Steve;
Do like Johnsdiesel and Steve83 said. Front wheels up, and pull the drive shaft. That puts the weight on the dolly, and the transmission is not turning. This is the safest way to tow with a dolly.
