Recreational towing (all wheels on the ground)

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow

your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (such as behind a

recreational vehicle).

These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not

damaged due to insufficient lubrication.

Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) 4x2 vehicles

This applies to all 4x2 trucks/sport utilities with rear wheel drive

capability.

An example of recreational towing is towing your vehicle behind a

motorhome. The following recreational towing guidelines are designed to

ensure that your transmission is not damaged.

• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

• Maximum speed is 56 km/h (35 mph).

• Maximum distance is 80 km (50 miles).

If a distance of 80 km (50 miles) or a speed of 56 km/h (35 mph) must

be exceeded, you must disconnect the driveshaft. Ford recommends the

driveshaft be removed/installed only by a qualified technician. See your

local dealer for driveshaft removal/installation.

Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft can cause

transmission fluid loss, damage to the driveshaft and internal

transmission components.

4x4 vehicles with electronic shift transfer case

(Neutral tow kit accessory)

On vehicles equipped with 4WD, an accessory is available that allows you

to tow your vehicle, behind another vehicle, with all the wheels on the

ground. Contact your dealer for more details. Do not tow your vehicle

with all wheels on the ground unless you install the neutral tow kit as

vehicle damage may occur.
