Towing a 2015 Jimny was created by Wandy
Hi we have purchased a new 2015 Jimny Sierra (Australia) and plan to tow this behind our Motor Home. We have installed all the towing hitch equipment and are waiting on a "dog clutch" from a supplier in the USA so that we can flat tow. The problem is this part seems to be taking forever and we want to head off for 6 months next Monday.
I have read somewhere that you can remove the rear tail shaft which ensures the car is 2WD only and this allows you to flat tow the car safely. Can anybody help.

Unless suzuki changed something significant*, then removing the rear propshaft disconnects the rear axle from the transmission and you can tow it any distance provided the transmission is in 2wd. You can't tow it with the propshaft on as the gearbox can't stand being rotated in neutral without the engine running.

*I assume you manually select 4wd or 2wd, there is no "auto select" mode

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
