Neutral Towing

Emergency Towing It is recommended that Mustang be towed with
a wheel lift or with flatbed equipment. However,
if towing in an emergency only, Mustang may be
neutral towed behind another vehicle, but only at
a maximum speed of 35 mph and for a distance
of no greater than 50 miles
Recreational Towing When towing Mustang behind another vehicle
such as an RV, a wheel lift or a flatbed trailer
must be used or the driveshaft must be removed
