Hello,

short answer is no. The Ford Escape / Mercury Mariner, in any configuration of the standard or hybrid, do not you have four wheels and can be muddy trawl pulled (with all four wheels on the ground). You need on one platform or one of the points in a third axis, while the other end of the earth.

No miles recorded when the engine is running and monitoring the progress of the teams odometer wheels on the ground.

A complete answer is not propelled forward (the ability of a four-wheel does not include important) with an automatic transmission, must always be towed with all four wheels down.

This can damage several components, which control how each front wheel rotates.

Trailer wheels to prevent that the wheels turn at the right speed for the damaged vehicle (no trailer) and lock / from freezing on several factors, not just the trans.

If you see vehicles like SUVs and four-wheel-drive Suzuki Brakes a dirtybehind the houses, because the four-wheeled motor vehicles have the ability to communicate or "freewheel", axles, you do not block this.

The best thing to do online guide to the list may look like the vehicles will be towed away dirty, and what are the conditions in vehicles. For example, all four-wheeled vehicles may be their hands dirty unlimited mileage to be towed, will be launched and will have to wait for short distances, that move the fluid in the transmission.

Refer to the manual, some say, the vehicle can be moved over short distances (25-50 miles) from all four wheels in an emergency.

Good luck.

You can not tow another vehicle with an automatic transmission. If you do, you destroy the trans.

Miles will be recorded on the odometer. To check on an empty highway, put the transmission in neutral, and click on the odometer of a few tenths of a mile to see.

I do not think it would be for flat towing well, and may void the warranty. Refer to the manual - if you have not yet purchased consult, ask a dealer and ask to see that in the manual.

The reason why we do not believe that it will be pulled flat 4WD system you use - which is not a traditional transfer case that will be neutral for flat towing does not change.

The Jeep Liberty and Dodge Nitro are the same price range vehicle with a traditional transfer case.

I suggest you keep a tow dolly, used to be, can available for less than $ 1000. A sailor 4WD is probably not out on a wheelchair for long distances.

The audometer activated with the engine speed traveled hours life of the engine and connects them to save miles. If you tow the car, I think you have not run the engine, included in this case, no miles.
