Here it is, strait from the owner's manual, page 4-58
Here are some important things to consider before you
do recreational vehicle towing:
•
What’s the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?
Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations.
•
How far will you tow? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how long they can tow.
•
Do you have the proper towing equipment?
See your dealer or trailering professional for
additional advice and equipment recommendations.
•
Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as you
would prepare your vehicle for a long trip, you’ll
want to make sure your vehicle is prepared to be
towed. See
Before Leaving on a Long Trip on
page 4-42
.
Dinghy Towing
Use the following procedure to tow your vehicle:
1. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
2. Turn the engine off, but leave the ignition in ON.
3. Firmly set the parking brake.
4. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the
tow vehicle.
{
CAUTION:
Shifting an all-wheel-drive vehicle’s transfer
case into NEUTRAL can cause your vehicle to
roll even if the automatic transmission is in
PARK (P) or the manual transmission is in any
gear. You or others could be injured. Make
sure the parking brake is firmly set before you
shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL.
5. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N). See
All-Wheel Drive on page 2-22
for the proper
procedure to select the NEUTRAL position for
your vehicle.
6. Put the transmission in PARK (P) for an automatic
transmission or in FIRST (1) for a manual
transmission.
7. Release the parking brake only after the
vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the
towing vehicle.
8. Turn the ignition off.
After towing, see “Shifting Out of NEUTRAL” under
All-Wheel Drive on page 2-22
.

So far, it sucks. I guess math just isnt my fortay, although I do seem to like to use whatI already know. I have taken a slower line in math, which means I should also change my major, or waste three terms taking math that doesn't apply to engineering. I chose to go back to business for now because I will have more credits that will apply to that degree than engineering, but I haven't givien up on engineering yet. I just need more time for the math.

Thanks for the input. I read on one forum to leave the key on and pulla fuse and if you didn't want to rack up miles you had to disconnect the speed sensor. I'm just a Union Carpenter so I wasn't sure what I read in the manual was up to date. You know much past wood and we're done.
