bizsmith@yahoo.com Report post Posted August 30, 2013 The Transit Connect is not listed as towable but it is considered more a commercial vehicle. Does anyone have any info on towing the Connect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dougu Report post Posted August 30, 2013 According to the owners manual for a 2013 Transit Connect, it is not towable four wheels down. Here are the instructions for emergency and recreational towing from the owners manual. TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS Emergency Towing If your vehicle becomes inoperable (without access to wheel dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain and transmission configuration) under the following conditions: • Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction. • Place the transmission in position N. See Automatic transmission in the Transmission chapter if you cannot move the transmission into N. • Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h). • Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers). Recreational Towing Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering your vehicle. See the Climate Control chapter. Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational towing, such as towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. We designed these guidelines to prevent damage to your transmission. Do not tow your vehicle with the front wheels on the ground. It is recommended to tow your vehicle with the front drive wheels on a dolly with the transmission in position N or with all four (4) wheels off the ground, such as when using a car-hauling trailer. Hope this information helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
