unless of course it's a FWD car... so you mean to tell me you were towing that thing with the rear wheels on the ground and the driveline not disconnected? sounds like it falling from the dolly did you a favor... even in neutral the tranny is still turning.

Yes, it was a favor. I knew something wasn't right. Its a 4 wheel drive truck. driveline not disconnected. We didn't realize that till after. You are supposed to put back wheels of truck on a dolly??

Yes, and on a 4x4 you're supposed to have none of the wheels on the ground. There's something in the "In case of emergency" section of the owner's manual about it. Kinda crazy huh, that's why those U-Haul dollies are barely for more than a FWD car.


Two-wheel drive models
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed
with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or
place the vehicle on a flat bed truck as illustrated.

CAUTION
c Never tow automatic transmission
models with the rear wheels on the
ground or four wheels on the ground
(forward or backward), as this may
cause serious and expensive damage to
the transmission. If it is necessary to
tow the vehicle with the front wheels
raised always use towing dollies under
the rear wheels.
c When towing automatic transmission
models with the front wheels on the
ground or on towing dollies:
– Turn the ignition key to the OFF position,
and secure the steering wheel in a
straight-ahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never secure the steering
wheel by turning the ignition key to
the LOCK position. This may damage
the steering lock mechanism.



Four-wheel drive models
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be
used when towing your vehicle or place the vehicle
on a flat bed truck as illustrated.

CAUTION
c Never tow 4WD models with any of the
wheels on the ground as this may cause
serious and expensive damage to the
transfer case and transmission.

I dont think the Titan has a N on the 4x4 selector?

I was wrong anyway and had to change my reply.
