TOWING AND MAINTENANCE:
Maintenance: The base model Marmot is equipped with a skidplate and bumper, making it extremely survivable in the event of a crash/accident. The truck also comes with a welding torch and fire extinguisher as standard equipment. The hood switch is located on the floor board of the driver side. The hood gives you access to some of the logic and the radiator of the truck. In order to get full engine access you must climb under the truck, as the skidplate obstructs most of the engine.
Towing: The base model Marmot comes standard equipped with 8 hard towing points located around the truck. Due to the way the transmission is setup, you must leave the truck IN GEAR and put the TRANSFER CASE in NEUTRAL in order to tow.
