Ford Motor Company produces a towing manual for all authorized tow

truck operators. Have your tow truck operator refer to this manual for

proper hook-up and towing procedures for your vehicle.

Two-wheel drive (2WD) vehicles can be towed with the front wheels on

the ground and the rear wheels off the ground.

It is recommended that four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles are to be towed

with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off

the ground. However, a wheel lift may be used to lift the rear of the

vehicle so long as, depending on vehicle configurations, the following

preparations are met:

• On manual-shift transfer case vehicles, the front wheel hub locks are

in the FREE position prior to towing.

• On Electronic Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF) vehicles, the 4WD control is

turned to the 2WD position prior to towing.

Note: Towing an ESOF 4WD vehicle with the front wheels on the ground

without disengaging the front hubs may cause damage to the automatic

transmission.

Note: Towing a 2WD or an ESOF 4WD vehicle with the rear wheels on

the ground for more than 50 miles (80 km) and/or in excess of 35 mph

(56 km/h) may cause damage to the automatic transmission.

Note: On dual rear wheel (DRW) vehicles, an outer rear wheel must be

removed prior to using a wheel lift wrecker.

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS

Emergency Towing

In the event your vehicle becomes disabled (without access to wheel

dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be

flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the

powertrain/transmission configuration) under the following conditions:

• The vehicle is facing forward so that it is towed in a forward

direction.

• The transmission is placed in position N. See Automatic

transmission in the Transmission chapter if you cannot move the

transmission into N.

• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).

• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers).
