dazzreds Report post Posted January 1, 2014 Can a 4x4 Ford Ranger with an electronic transfer case be towed with 4 wheels on the ground?? It depends on who you ask as to the answer you get, I'm hoping my FMCA family can tell me...you would know best... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nitehawk Report post Posted November 20, 2014 OK, here goes. We had a Ford Explorer Sporttrack. 2004 four wheel drive, electronic selector for the transfer case. Same as a 4x4 Ranger drive train. In order to tow four on the ground there is a $10 (actual value) indicator light you have to buy and have installed by Ford. Ford wanted $180 for the light and wiring. Installation and "flashing" the computer to give you a neutral position in the transfer case will cost you another $200+. All necessary if you have a selector switch that only has 2H, 4H, and 4L on the bezel. Ford's rates undoubtedly have changed since I checked prices six years ago, before getting rid of the Sporttrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
