Does anyone tow a Ford Edge 4 wheels down?

Almost bought a 2013 with the eco boost engine but found out it can not be towed 4 down!!

I understand the V6 can be towed.

We have owned a 2011 Edge Limited since December, 2010. The car has a keyless ignition and the standard V6 cylinder engine. We have towed it 4 down for 15,000+ miles with only one incident.

It is easy to set up to tow, once hitched >> with engine running, put it in 'Neutral,' press ignition button to turn off the engine, press ignition button again with foot off the brake to go to 'Accessory' mode. You are good to go.

At the end of your drive >> with transmission still in 'Neutral' press the brake and then the ignition to start the car, shift to park, disconnecr from motorhome.

My one No-No is at the end of your drive >> do not shift into Park and then start the engine. If the battery were dead you would not be able to move the car. If it is still in 'Neutral' the car can be move out of the roadway. To rechange the car battery you must disconnect all car cables from the battery, rechange and reconnect.

We now have a car battery charge maintainer linking the car and motorhome chassis batteries.
