OK, that helps some. I own and tow a 2011 Dodge Dakota 4 Dr.
4x4 4.7 V8 Auto down on all four wheels behind my MH. It weights about 4000 lbs.

On mine you switch the transfer case to neutral and place the auto trans in park to
tow. Also on mine one click of the key and the steering wheel is free to turn, but
the speedo does not add miles. If the key is turned to the second click it the wheel also turns but the speedo does record mileage.

I know MH magazine puts out a guide for vehicle as to which one's can and cannot
be towed 4 down.

Also add the cost of how you tow, a tow dolly costs about $1000 to $1700. And all the stuff needed to flat tow runs $3200 to $5000 depending on what you buy and who you buy from.

Keep in mind with both systems (dolly vs flat tow) you can not back up when towing.

I hope this helps.
