I have a 2002 Tacoma 4x4 5-speed. I have been towing it 4 down behind my Beaver coach for about 500 miles. Toyota says not to do it unless it's an emergency then to shift the differential into 2H and the transmission into Neutral and place ignition in Acc position. I also checked with Remco who says shouldn't be a problem but they recommended towing it with both the Trans in Neutral and Differential in Neutral with ignition in Acc. Otherwise Toyota recommends installing a differential disengage for additional priotection when towing in fear that the differential would not get adequate lubrication. Thus far I have towed it both ways in Neutral/Neutral and Neutral/2H, without any signs of any problems. Of the two options which in your opinion would be the safest in the long run. Usually anytime I stop for anything while towing I will stop and run the engine in the Tacoma for about 3 minutes and shift through the gears. Thanks for any suggestions.
