RECREATIONAL TOWING
An example of “recreational towing” is towing your vehicle behind a
motorhome.
If your vehicle is automatic transmission equipped, with a 4x2
(front-wheel drive only) configured powertrain, “recreational towing” is
permitted by trailering the vehicle with its front wheels on a dolly. This
protects the transmission’s internal mechanical components from
potential lack of lubrication damage.
If your vehicle is automatic transmission equipped, with a 4x4 (all-wheel
drive) configured powertrain, “recreational towing” is permitted only if
the vehicle is trailered with all four (4) wheels off the ground. Otherwise,
no “recreational towing” is permitted.
If your vehicle is manual transmission equipped, shifting the transmission
into neutral permits “flat-towing” (all wheels on the ground) for pulling
behind a motorhome. Your vehicle may be towed up to a speed of 120
km/h (75 mph) but you should always obey local speed limits.
