Towing

We recommend the use of a wheel lift
and dollies or flatbed equipment to
tow your vehicle. Do not tow with a
slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has
not approved a slingbelt towing
procedure. Vehicle damage may occur
if towed incorrectly, or by any other
means.
Ford Motor Company produces a
towing manual for all authorized tow
truck operators. Have your tow truck
operator refer to this manual for
proper hook-up and towing
procedures for your vehicle.
The front wheels (drive wheels) must
be on a tow dolly when towing your
vehicle from the rear using wheel lift
equipment. This prevents damage to
the transmission.
We recommend placing the rear
wheels on a tow dolly when towing
your vehicle from the front using
wheel lift equipment. This prevents
damage to the rear fascia.
