Towing with a wheel-lift type truck
From the front
Vehicles with automatic trans-
mission: Use a towing dolly
under the rear wheels.
Vehicles with manual transmis-
sion: We recommend using a
towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
When not using a towing dolly,
release the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to N.
From the rear (Pre Runner)
Turn the engine switch to the
“ACC” position so that the steer-
ing wheel is unlocked.
From the rear (4WD models)
Use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.

When trouble arises
HILUX_OM_OM0K134E_(EE)
Using a flatbed truck
If you use chains or cables to tie
down your vehicle, the angles
shaded in black must be 45.
Do not overly tighten the tie
downs or the vehicle may be
damaged.
Before emergency towing
Release the parking brake.
4WD models: Shift the front drive control lever to H2.
Shift the shift lever to N.
Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (engine
running) position.
CAUTION
Caution while towing
Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing eyelets and the cables or chains. Always
be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.

NOTICE
To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission and transfer
(4WD models) when towing using a wheel-lift type truck (vehicles with
automatic transmission)
Pre Runner: Never tow this vehicle from the front with the rear wheels on the
ground.
4WD models: Never tow this vehicle with any of the wheels in contact with
the ground.
To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck (vehicles with manual transmission)
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is in the
“LOCK” position or the key is removed. The steering lock mechanism is
not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the
vehicle could be damaged while being towed.
To prevent body damage when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
