In the maker's words
Before you tow
- “Recreational towing (with all four wheels on the ground, or using a towing dolly) is NOT ALLOWED.”
Other options
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's towing guide 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 ↗
