Dear Fellow Thaivisa.com Posters,

 

Is it OK to transport a Mazda Tribute V6 Automatic / Ford Escape V6 Automatic [ Year 2003 ] some 300 miles FORWARDS WHILE ROLLING ON REAR WHEELS ONLY by Transport Vehicle in some 6 hours ?

 

Thanking, in advance, all yee for your constructive relevant replies.

"It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Mazda has not approved a slingbelt towing procedure.On FWD vehicles, if your vehicle is to be towed from the front, ensure proper wheel lift equipment is used to raise the front wheels off the ground. The rear wheels can be left on the ground when towed in this fashion. If your vehicle is to be towed from the rear using wheel lift equipment, it is required that the front wheels (drive wheels) be placed on a dolly to prevent damage to the transmission. On 4WD vehicles, it is required that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground to prevent damage to the automatic transmission, 4WD system or vehicle."

Thanks jabis.

 

if it is the 4wd model then it should go on a tilt tray.
