06 XC90 AWD towing question

If a 2006 XC90 4.4l V8 with all wheel drive is in park with the engine off, can the rear wheels be rootated? In other works does the parking paw in the transmission also lock up the rear wheels?

Yes the wheels can be rotated and No, the AWD coupler on front of rear diff has no clutch application when parked and engine off. Without the driveshaft locked through the clutch in coupler the parking pawl has no eefect on rear wheels.

i just know about the wheels yes it can be rotated, mostly i use ford trucks for towing, recently i bought a ford raptor which we are using for 24-hour Roadside Assistance.
