I don't see any reasons why u can't tow 4wheels down ,, it is a manual trans and alos has a transfer case which u can put in nuetral ,, i have towed a 1980 cj5 jeep that is manual trans and transfer case ,, many miles ,, in fact it has been coast to coast many times ,, and even pulled it over a 3 month tour ,, i did not do this ,, but my dad did ,, and i still have it today ,, infact my son uses it as a daily driver ,, and i would still today (if i could) tow it anywhere ,,, but this just what i have done ,, we now have a 2012 land rover that we tow 4 down ,, it is 4wd ,, and automatic ,, but the trick to it is a fuse u take out and put in another slot ,, it tows like a dream ,, we toad it to MB a couple of times ,, and now we are in California ,, about to head back home ,, with a stop in NM ,, to see some friends ,, then home ,, then who knows where from there
