In the maker's words
Before you tow
- “For proper 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 Limited Warranty, as this could void the warranty of your vehicle.”
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 ↗
