On your 4x4 truck you have a automatic with a high-low transmission shifter how do you shift it back into high?
pull the lever back to the "H" position. if it doesnt shift put your truck in reverse and pull back about a foot or so then put it back in drive and it should work. if all that fails it is broke. come to a complete stop, then put it in neutral and it should knock right out of low. If that doesnt work try reverse. answer if that doesnt work, unlock the front hubs then put in high, doesnt mean it is broke as first answer suggests

If it is a standard shift and not an automatic, yes as long as you put it in neutral. If it is an automatic you can disconnect the drive shaft. Otherwise you cannot tow it or you will damage the transmission as it will overheat.
