As posted check the owner's manual. However, in general the vehicle should not be towed with all 4 wheels on the road. Despite the transmission being in neutral it will build up heat in the transmission and there is no fluid flowing. In some cases the driveshaft can be disconnected and you'll be okay, The best set up would be to load the vehicle on a trailer.

some models you can...the fluid pump primes the lube circuit when the driveshaft is turned...some units have a tcase neutral position that mechanically disconnects the driveshaft from the trans....but you can't assume....check the build for every model.
