In the maker's words
Before you tow
- “For safe operation, towed vehicles (or dollies or trailers carrying them) should be equipped with a separate functional brake system.”
- “Some aftermarket camper centers offer kits which may allow vehicles with automatic transmissions to be flat-towed. … Check your new vehicle Warranty Guide, as this could void the warranty of your vehicle.”
- “Individual vehicles have different restrictions and towing procedures. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual or contact your Ford dealer for complete details.”

Can't flat tow it? Here's what works
A version that can't go four wheels down can still travel on a car trailer or, where the maker allows, a tow dolly. Ford adds: “Ford Motor Company recommends that a separate functional brake system be used on any towed vehicle, including those dolly-towed or towbar-towed.” p. 3 ↗
