Some cars can't be towed, unless on a trailer. Some can't be towed unless front wheels off the ground. I don't know the reasons, but will try to find the link. Newer Suzuki Grand Vitaras have electronic switching of drive, and they have a motorhome setting. |

Sierras need a rear tailshaft disconnect fitted to ensure no transfer/gearbox damage is done when flat towing as they do not have a true neutral in the transfer case. Jimny's I have no idea about.... I would be putting either vehicle on a trailer if towing with a decent sized motorhome. |

Jimny's I believe are fine to be towed. I would be putting either vehicle on a trailer if towing with a decent sized motorhome. With a kit similar to the sierra one.. x2 on trailer.... |

I have seen a sierra, a couple of jimny's and vitara's, even a feroza being towed behind a motorhome, all 4 wheels being towed by an A frame bolt on adapter, No trailer required. I noticed that there were brake cables fromt he motorhome to the car, so I presume it uses the cars brakes to help slow down, similar to a braked trailer would. But yes it is legal. Just a quick google I found a company called Hitch N Go that make adapters for sierra's Some more info here.
