Tfrye223333 Report post Posted November 5, 2023 I'm new to flat towing, and confused. I would like to flat tow my 2010 4x4 Ford Ranger and I'm seeing contradicting information from several sources. I'm even seeing contradicting information from Ford. 1. The manual is showing it can be FT (flat towed) but it requires a "flat tow kit" to be installed. Max speed 55 mph. Unlimited milage 2. I went into Ford dealer and was told by Service Mgr. after he check his resources, that all 4 wheel need to be off the ground when towing. Does anyone have experience bad or good with flat towing 4x4 Ford Rangers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) What I found in the FMCA Towing Guide. https://www.fmca.com/images/stories/pdf/towing_10.pdf Automatic transmission: With dealer-installed Neutral Tow Kit (part #3L2Z-7H332-AA). Manual transmission (both 4x2 and 4x4): Vehicle must be shifted into “neutral” and the maximum towing speed is 55 mph. I would be looking for something I could tow a little faster. I don't know how much you could push it but I tend to run about 65. Bill Edited November 6, 2023 by wildebill308 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted November 8, 2023 The vehicle specific owners manual is the final authority. Locate the section listed "recreational towing" and read closely. I have seen online recreational towing guides with errors. I agree with wildbill, I would search for a different towed vehicle. I'd hate to be limited to 55 MPH on interstates, then if you visit Texas and a couple other states with 80 MPH speed limits it could get downright dangerous in heavy traffic.
