Can a dodge Dakota 4wd with auto trans be safely towed behind motor home all wheels on the ground?

No, a Dodge Dakota 4WD with an automatic transmission should not be towed safely with all four wheels on the ground. Towing a vehicle with an automatic transmission on all four wheels can severely damage the transmission. The transmission pump relies on the engine to circulate fluid, and without the engine running, the pump can't lubricate the transmission components properly, leading to overheating and catastrophic failure.

To tow a Dodge Dakota 4WD with an automatic transmission, you need a vehicle dolly (tows the front two wheels) or a flatbed tow truck. Consult your Dakota's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended towing method.
