Has there been any information on whether this vehicle can be flat-towed behind an RV?
 
I would like to flat tow. BUT almost all automatic vehicles the warranty is voided with flat towing. The transfer case with neutral is pretty much gone in today's world.

Agreed, looking at the transfer switch in the cabin it only has 4H or 4L no netural like a 5th gen 4runner would have.

According to the manual (page 509), that would be a no. Flatbed towing only.

And no way to modify this? I heard some (likely older) cars could have manual locking hubs added to each wheel to get them to flat tow (but that also eliminates any braking in the tow vehicle so not good in that respect).
