Hi.....
Your car is a AWD.. I don't recomend Dually truck to tow it. With a dually 2 tires will stay on the road. and you have no choice to desengage the AWD. system.
Bucause you will damage the Transfercase. and made the transsmission. work dry.
The best way is a Flat bed.
Is just my suggestion.

Logically with the transfer box in neutral there would be no reason why towing on a dolly would be a problem - unless the centre differential is of the limited slip type. In that case it would be wise to remove a propshaft to avoid damage or use a car trailer.
I suppose much would depend on how far it must be towed and how fast...
It might be wise to try it before it really needs towing.
A suitable alternative method of towing might be towing with an A frame which would have the benefit of keeping all the wheels on the ground and turning and so should eliminate centre diff problems.
if its not AWD, or in 4WD then no, just ensure its in neutral, or you can tow it from the back, just lock the steering wheel, tie the seat belt around it afterwards. We used to do it all the time. It also depends on how far you are towing the vehicle.
On a flat bed tow truck. You could use a tow bar and remove the driveshaft. But because of the weight and power steering being stiff without the engine running, I would suggest you rent a trailer with brakes. Don't cheap out and rent a towing dolly that only holds one axle off the ground as Jag's sit low to the ground and are rear wheel drive, meaning the rear wheels would have to be on the dolly and the fronts on the ground. You would risk damaging the steering, front suspension, engine sump, radiator, and front bumper.
Um...no...in order to tow you need rated tow-cable or shock absorbing chains or a tow hitch. you would also need hazard lights that also show which way the towed vehicle is turning (ppl cant see the towing car's turn signals) usually there are magetics ones that hook up to the towing cars trailer light system. Safe towing by LAW is the issue here...could you tow it with a dolly...yes...but is it against the law..YES and the LAW protects you from hurting yourself,others, and property. I hope this answers your question. and please be safe. (dont do it) 8-)
most AWDs have a fuseholder under the hood labled FWD
a fuse must be inserted into the empty fuseholder to disengage the rear wheels for towing purposes.
I'm having trouble finding tow equipment able to transport my 2004 Jaguar.
The vehicle was towed away once and this mechanism hasn't worked since.
