Towing the VX

[Ldub]

on this same topic... is it bad to let the vx roll down a hill in neutral? occasionally if im in too much of a hurry to let the vx warm up properly ill just start it and leave it in neutral and let it roll down to the bottom of my hill.. probably like 1/2-3/4 miles with the vx just idling, that way when i get to the bottom ive had a lil more time for oil flow.. i usually hit 35-40mph by the end

what exactly makes the vx bad to tow all 4 down?

The only advice I'm able to find in the owners manual, (ch. 6 - pg. 15) is with regard to coasting down hill being unsafe, I haven't been able to find any mechanical reason given against coasting.

And back to towing...

In ch. 7 - pg.15 it says:

The all wheel drive car must never be towed with either the front wheels or the rear wheels raised.

*The car may be towed from the front with all four wheels in the ground.

*This vehicle may be towed at speeds below 35 mph (55 km/h) for a distance not exceeding 50 miles (80 km).

*Towing attachments must be made to main structural members of the vehicle. Do not attach to bumpers or associated brackets.

They didn't mention anything about front axle half shafts...

I don't know "what exactly" makes the VX bad to tow 4 down, I would guess it has to do with the TOD...
