[QUOTE="treynor, post: 1064131, member: 9372"] I found the definitive answer (YES) in the Raptor supplement to the F150 owners' manual. Many thanks to James Ford of Half Moon Bay for getting me the answer: 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. Your Ford Performance vehicle can be put in neutral tow (Recreational Towing Mode) by placing the transfer case in its neutral position and engaging the four-wheel-down towing feature. Perform the steps outlined in the following section after positioning your vehicle behind the tow vehicle and properly securing them together. Note: Make sure you properly secure your vehicle to the tow vehicle. 1. Put the ignition in the on position, but do not start the engine. If your vehicle has an ignition key, turn the key to on. If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine START/STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal. 2. Press and hold the brake pedal. 3. Rotate the four-wheel drive switch to 2H. 4. Shift the transmission to position N. 5. Enable Neutral Tow through the information display by selecting Settings from the cluster menu. 6. Then select Advanced Settings. 7. Then select Vehicle. 8. Then select Neutral Tow. Note: If completed successfully, the information display shows NEUTRAL TOW LEAVE IN N or NEUTRAL TOW ENABLED LEAVE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. This indicates that your vehicle is safe to tow with all wheels on the ground. Note: If you do not see the message in the display, you must perform the procedure again from the beginning. [/QUOTE]
