    That's the first hit when googling 'car trailers'. They are in Georgia but sell nationwide.

    Can't you just select neutral on the hi-lo shift - this should stop the gear box turning -

    There isn't one, plus that's just for the transfer case. You still have to contend with the automatic which is a big tow no-no.

    Unfortunately no Featherlites. They cost a bit more but you get a lot of that money back in fuel and maintenance savings, plus you can haul 40% more on an aluminum trailer than a comparable steel trailer. Not to mention Featherlites actually hold their value well which is generally a foreign concept with trailers.

    Towing your VehiCROSS...

    Just grab about 10 feet of chain from any hardware store, loop it through the front cladding, and fasten it to the rear of your RV. You are now ready to drag your VX wherever you wish!
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    To SAFELY tow your VX...

    Put it on a trailer to get all 4 wheels off the road.

    Hi - i have a neutral on mine - the section in between hi and lo = no drive - if the transfer case doesn't turn then the gear box shouldn't - or are the autos different?
    cheers

    Your transfer case drives the front axle from the transmission (either manual or auto) whereas the rear axle is driven by the transmission, so in the case of the auto the rear axle would need to be disconnected but I believe there isn't a neutral position in the TOD transfer case.

    ZIRALOVE--- Here is the information you requested. I see you live in Seattle, WA and the nearest FEATHERLITE Brand Trailer Dealership to you is in Snohomish, WA which is about 32 miles away to the North (according to MapQuest). You didn't specify if you wanted an "open" or "enclosed" trailer, so I listed both models for your convenience.

    FEATHERLITE Brand Trailer Dealership, Washington State:

    BICKFORD MOTORS, INC.
    3100 Bickford Avenue
    Snohomish, WA 98291

    Bus. Hours: Mon--Sat, 9:00am--5:00pm
    Fre: (800) 242-5367
    Tel: (360) 568-2122
    Fax: (360) 563-0946
    Eml: maggic@bickford.net
    Web: www.Fthr.com/Dealers/WashingtonState

    MODEL #3110 - "Open" Flatbed Aluminum Car Trailer
    Available in 14' & 17' & 20' w/6' ramps.

    MODEL #4926 - "Enclosed" Car Aluminum Car Trailer
    Available in 20' & 24' w/ramp.

    Check-out the above mentioned website, and then go visit the dealership in person. Look-up the actual VX dimensions in the Owner's Manual, so you can determine which trailer is best suited for the VX. When you visit the dealership; leave your VX at home and drive your "tow vehicle" with trailer hitch to the dealership in case you decide to buy one on-the-spot, then you can take the empty trailer back home with you.

    Bring your checkbook!!! FeatherLite Brand Aluminum Trailers are very, very expensive. They are absolutely the best trailer on the market and are the only trailers that maintain their resale value. They are worth every penny.

    If you decide to buy a FeatherLite Trailer; be sure and lock-it to the truck and chain-it w/high security padlock & logging-chain to a permanent object whenever parked outside by itself, and with an additional hitch-lock on the trailer ball hitch. They are the #1 most favorite trailer sought after by trailer thieves. If you don't properly secure it, it WILL get stolen!!!

    When you recover from the sticker shock of the featherlites you might think about buying mine. I've towed it a total of about 200 mi. All C channel construction and automotive quality paint. Bought it 2 months ago. Paid $2,450 will sell for $1980.

    That's a lot cheaper than steak and think what ya have left after a steak. At least this way you'd still have a trailer. (a nice lookin trailer I might add )
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Oh, I'm just funnin'! I've got plenty of steel trailers from 8 ft. up to 50 ft. and would rather pull aluminum any day of the week. Yup, they're pricey but you get back some of that expense with every mile they follow you somewhere. It costs fuel and drivetrain abuse to haul unnecessary weight and extra brake wear to stop it, so the more you lighten the load the less the load lightens your wallet!
