CAMPER BODIES
Your Explorer Sport Trac is not recommended for slide–in camper
bodies.
RECREATIONAL TOWING
Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing.
An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind
a motorhome. These guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
Note:
Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to
prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Refer to the
Climate
controls
chapter for more information.
2WD vehicles:
Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels on the ground,
as vehicle or transmission damage may occur. It is recommended to tow
your vehicle with all four (4) wheels off the ground such as when using a
car-hauling trailer. Otherwise, no recreational towing is permitted.
In case of a roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle, see
Wrecker
towing
in the
Roadside Emergencies
chapter.
4WD vehicles with electronic shift transfer case (Neutral tow kit
accessory):
An accessory is available that allows you to tow your vehicle, behind
another vehicle, with all the wheels on the ground. Contact your
authorized 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.
In case of a roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle, see
Wrecker
towing
in the
Roadside Emergencies
chapter.
AWD vehicles:
Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels on the ground,
as vehicle or transmission damage may occur. It is recommended to tow
your vehicle with all four (4) wheels off the ground such as when using a
car-hauling trailer. Otherwise, no recreational towing is permitted.
In case of a roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle, see
