An alternative for towing a 4x4 vehicle (with gasoline engine only) with a
manual
4WD system is to:
•
put the transfer case in neutral, then put the 4WD shift lever in N
(Neutral).
•
unlock the front hub locks (refer to
Four wheel drive [4WD]
operation [if equipped]
in the
Driving
chapter).
•
lift the rear wheels of the vehicle using a wheel lift or a sling belt with
T-hooks.
If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.
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.
