bigtsr Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Can you tow a 2012 Journey AWD 4 wheels down behind an RV? I believe the owners manual states that you can't flat tow AWD Journeys. You will damge the drive train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armendegga Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 The only way to tow an AWD journey is on a flatbed. If you try to tow it with any wheels on the ground, you'll void your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Dodge Support DodgeCares Posted November 30, 2011 Official Dodge Support Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Can you tow a 2012 Journey AWD 4 wheels down behind an RV? Craig, Here is the official word from Dodge on the subject. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) The manufacturer requires towing with all four wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed, or with one end of vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly. CAUTION! Failure to follow these towing methods could result in damage to the transmission and/or transfer case. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

bfurth Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 This will hold true for just about any FWD vehicle: Why would you ever want to tow with the drive wheels on the ground (unless you're pulling it out of a ditch)? Only bad things can happen, even if you do everything right. Get the drive wheels off the ground - if they aren't moving under their own power, they shouldn't be moving. For the Journey specifically, it's permissible under certain circumstances (not, far, and definitely not fast). Read the owner's manual. And get your Journey on a flatbed if you need it towed - it's inherently less dangerous to the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not permissible beyond 15 miles and 25 MPH maximum speed. Flat towing the vehicle will overheat the transmission fluid and burn up the transmission's clutches beyond these criteria. A FWD Journey may be towed short distances with a dolly to lift the front wheels. AWD Journeys must be flat-bedded or trailered with all wheels off the ground.
