For most 2001 and newer model years, dinghy towing information is located in the Owner's Manual.
NOTE:
- Dinghy towing a vehicle behind a motor home requires special equipment and accessories. Please see your motor home manufacturer/service outlet for recommended towing equipment.
- If speed/distance limits are not strictly observed, internal damage to the transmission or transfer components may occur.
- The transmission MUST be placed in the "neutral" position when dinghy towing.
- After dinghy towing, or at the recommended distance limits, let the engine idle for more than three minutes before operating the vehicle or resuming towing.
* speed/distance limit does not apply to the 2000-2001 Celica GT-S with manual transmission
** includes MR2 Sequential Manual Transmission
† including Hybrid Synergy Drive vehicles
