  1. True, but that can be done simply by placing the transmission in neutral. The condition described in the book has specific maneuvers to electronically disconnect the drive axles, which is apparently not accomplished by simply placing the transmission into neutral. This poses a challenge to me! B. Most likely it is only for service issues then. Possibly there could be a reason for it. Regardless, every 4x4 vehicle has a neutral position, whether they want you to use it or not. Don't lose any sleep over it. It's just one of those things........just like the speedometer reads up to 160mph...but you will never get it there. I have a large diesel motorhome and would like to tow the 570 four-wheels down. If the neutral position truly is neutral, it would seem that this is possible...except for that pesky little note saying that towing behind a motorhome is forbidden. Thanks for your input. B.

  3. There are two pages of directions/instructions to place the drive wheels in "neutral," electronically disconnecting the transmission. I would suppose that this would allow the vehicle to be towed "4 wheels down." The manual, however, states that it is expressly forbidden to tow the vehicle "4 wheels down," and doing so would void the warranty. The manual specifically shows a 570 behind a motorhome with the red circle and slash over the 570. My question: Why have a "neutral" position which disconnects the drive wheels from the transmission when towing is forbidden? B.
