I would get uner it and take the drive shaft bolts to the pinion off and disconnect the drive shaft, that way you know it is not turning at all, do not just put it in neutral, if towed in neutral with a auto trans it will break the trans ,

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the towing section.

As mentioned, not enough information.
If it is a manual transmission and/or a manual transfer case. Place one of the two in neutral, and yes, it can be towed that way, unlimited speed, unlimited distance.
Automatic transmission? Without a manual t-case, no, you cannot unless you remove the shaft. (For a one-time tow, speeds under 45 miles for no more than 50 miles, it should be fine... but I forget exactly the numbers the manual specs out for that case.)
