Toyota's conservative approach to flat towing means fewer models are approved compared to some other brands, but select 4Runner, Tacoma, and other models with proper transfer cases have been flat towing options. Blue Ox base plates are available for approved Toyota configurations.

Toyota flat tow options

• Toyota 4Runner: The body-on-frame SUV with part-time 4WD has been a flat towing option in certain years.
• Toyota Tacoma: Mid-size pickup with transfer case that allows neutral position in some configurations.
• Toyota Tundra: Full-size pickup—verify your specific year and drivetrain for eligibility.

Toyota towing considerations

• Part-time 4WD: Toyotas with part-time 4WD and transfer case neutral are most likely to be towable.
• Full-time 4WD and AWD: These systems generally cannot be flat towed without drivetrain disconnection.
• Automatic transmissions: Toyota automatics often have flat towing restrictions.
