I own an RV and do lots of traveling in it. I have used other vehicles in the past as a tow-behind toad. I am in the process of negotiating a 2006 Pacifica, but before I buy it I need to know if I can tow it with my RV when I travel. Besides putting in the third party hardware, are there any electronic things I need to install to set the transmission in true neutral? The Pacifica I am looking at is All Wheel Drive I believe.

Thanks

A towed vehicle should be raised until the lifted wheels are a minimum 100 mm (4 in.) from the ground. Be sure there is at least 100 mm (4 in.) clearance between the tail pipe and the ground. If necessary, remove the wheels from the front end of the vehicle and lower the front end closer to the ground, to increase the ground clearance at the rear of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on wheel attaching studs to retain brake rotors. LOCKED VEHICLE TOWING When a locked vehicle must be towed with the front wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly or flat bed hauler. FLAT BED TOWING TIE DOWNS CAUTION: Do not tie vehicle down by attaching chains or cables to suspension components or engine mounts, damage to vehicle can result. The vehicle can be tied to a flat bed device using the pair of front transportation slots on the bottom surface of the rails, behind the front wheels. The rear transportation slots are on the bottom of the left bumper extension and in the bracket extending inboard of the right bumper extension. TOWING – FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Your vehicle may be towed under the following conditions: The gear selector must be in NEUTRAL, the distance to be traveled must not exceed 100 miles (160 km), and the towing speed must not exceed 44 mph (72 km/h). Exceeding these towing limits may cause a transmission gear train failure. If the transmission is not operative, or if the vehicle is to be towed more than 100 miles (160 km), the vehicle must be towed with the front wheels off the ground.
