funkyjs asked:
Somebody towed my truck 100 feet when it was in gear. They claim it was fine and would not hurt the truck. They were pulling it on dirt. All of the wheels were rotating except for one, which they said was locked. Truck is a 1985 Ford F150 4×4. Truck was not in 4 wheel drive at the time. Could this of caused any damage to my truck?
It is a manual.

If your vehicle has a manual trans, it can put stress on the clutch and drive train assembly if left in gear. If an automatic, you run the risk of breaking the shift prawl or internal damage to the transmission. In any event, not a good thing to do, If you have to move a disabled vehicle, be sure it is in neutral with the brake off.
