I've been towing a Jeep Wrangler, and while it was a great dinghy, I wanted
something a little lighter.

I just bought a 99 Chevrolet/Geo Tracker 4WD Convertible with manual shift.

The people that owned it previously towed it behind a motorhome and told me
to put the transfer case in neutral (of course) and to put the transmission
in second gear.

If anyone has any experience in towing these great little cars, I have a
couple of questions:

Why second gear and why not just keep the transmission in neutral as well?

Does the car have automatic locking hubs? I can't find any documentation on
it. If they don't lock and unlock, I assume that I will be better to get
manual hubs. Any advice about hubs?

Many thanks,
