Can I flat tow my 1994 S-10 Blazer 4x4?
I have an 86 Winnie Chieftan 27ft 454 auto, I need to flat tow my 94 S-10 Blazer 4x4 auto wherever I go, is there a way to do this without wrecking the transmission on the Blazer?? i would love to hear from people who have actually flat towed an S10 Blazer.
Thanks, Tom.

Does the S10 have a manual transfer case or electric? The manual shifter will nave a neutral position' the electric shifter should have a neutral.. Put the A/T in park, the transfer case in neutral. To double check this, put transfer case in neurtral, shift A/T to drive and release brake, give it a little gas, if the motor RPM increases but truck doesn't move. Shut off engine, shift A/T to park, turn off key and it's ready to be towed.
If your transfer case does not have a neutral you cannot tow the truck without modifications.

I once owned a 2002 Chevy dually 4x4 with electric transfer case. If I held in the buttons for both it would shift into neutral. Didn't know that until I found a sentence in the owners manual, re-read yours.

Wow, will do! Mine is a rocker switch, I may be screwed still, I will either need a vehicle I can flat tow, or get a 2 wheel dolly & drag it backwards, hopefully that wont hurt the front diff.

As I said, the final authority is your particular owners manual. It will be under the heading Recreational towing.

From the 1994 S10 owners manual:
Recreational Vehicle Towing
(Four- Wheel Drive Only)
If your vehicle has &wheel drive, you may tow it behind another vehicle
providing it does not have the optional electronic shift transfer case.
NOTICE:
Recreational vehicle towing is not recommended for vehicles
with the optional electronic shift transfer case because the
electronic shift has no neutral position
