Re: Towing Question

No sarcasm intended, but the owners manual is likely referring to short tows for repair purposes. An auto trans without a secondary pump to circulate fluid will overheat and destroy itself. I infer the stated restrictions to mean that is the case. I guess you tow at your own risk. I would not construe the manual to mean that you can get away with repeated tows of under 50 miles without some cumulative effects!
I wonder if there is not some easy way to disconnect the rear prop or get the transfer case into a neutral state that will allow your goals?
Good luck.
