Towing a Tacoma with electric transfer case

I am new to this forum and came here for 2 reasons. 1 I will hopefully be buying a new Tacoma in a few months. 2. I hope I can get an answer on towing my P.U. behind a Motorhome. We are looking at a 4x4 double cab Auto V6. I will be installing a driveshaft disconect to protect the Trannie. Of course Toy says you cannot tow the truck. Will the transfer case give me a problem? I have been told to put it in 2 wheel drive and away we go. Is there a fuse ( maybe BCM) tht can be removed while towing that will stop the odometer from registering? Thanks

My truck is a little different, but I have towed it 4 down with the tranny and trasfer in nuetral with no problems. Mine is a 5 sp with manual hubs. I use a "brake buddy" to provide braking and break away protection. I think you would be fine with you axle disconnect and flat towing it. Call adco and ask them about it. I was thinking of buying a double cab last year and they told me I'd be ok with the drive shaft disconnect... but I would look into a brake buddy or simular device.
