Thanks this great information, if set up correctly does the mileage still add up on the vehicle?

[@golfinginthesun]

Would be good to cover what is required for a vehicle to be flat towed - transmission disconnect and steering wheel lockout - anything else?

[@etrailer]

Typically, driveline disconnects are used to flat tow a RWD vehicle. We don't carry them. What vehicle are you wanting tow tow? We'd be happy to recommend the parts we carry that might help you.

My parents had a driveshaft disconnect on their S10 blazer back in the day. I have a 17 Nissan frontier that you guys installed air bags and compressor on. It is a automatic 2wd so can I assume that I would need a driveshaft disconnect? I wish it was 4wd so I could put the transfer case in neutral. Thanks

You would have to tow your 2wd Nissan Frontier with the rear wheels off the ground or get a drive shaft disconnect.

Why only jeeps

[@etrailer]

You can flat tow many different vehicles. We featured Jeeps in the video because they're one of the most popular vehicles to flat tow.

how the hell do the towed vehicle front steering wheels turn after the RV ? this is utter disaster for the tyre as they will be dragged around n not steered ...!!! no explanation given ..plus for the wheels to turn they need to be turned on by power steering hence the engine will need to be on too while being towed !!! ... such irrational n accident prone towing ! better to have jacked up front wheels and make easy turning

[@etrailer]

The front wheels on the vehicle being towed will turn and track behind the RV when the vehicle is put in tow mode.www.etrailer.com/faq-definitive-flat-towing-setup-guide.aspx
