Lincoln Aviator: Roadside Emergencies / Transporting the Vehicle

If you need to tow your vehicle, contact a professional towing service or, if you are a member of a roadside assistance program, your roadside assistance service provider.

We recommend the use of a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. We do not approve a slingbelt towing procedure. If you tow your vehicle incorrectly, or by any other means, vehicle damage may occur.

We produce a towing manual for all authorized tow truck operators. Have your tow truck operator refer to this manual for proper hook-up and towing procedures for your vehicle.

We recommend towing a four-wheel drive vehicle with all wheels off the ground, such as using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment.

We recommend towing a rear-wheel drive vehicle with the rear wheels on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from the front using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the transmission.

We recommend towing a rear-wheel drive vehicle with the front wheels on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from the rear using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the front fascia.
