Towing a Ford
Vehicle Behind Your
Motorhome With All
Four Wheels Down
“Four-Wheel-Down” Towing
12
Many motorhome owners prefer the practicality
of having another vehicle along when they
travel. In fact, towing another vehicle behind the
motorhome has become more and more popular
in recent years. Furthermore, many of those who
want to tow another vehicle prefer one that can
be easily towed without a dolly or trailer. Ford
car and truck models shown in the chart at
right can be towed with all four wheels down.
For safe operation, towed vehicles (or dollies or
trailers carrying them) should be equipped with
a separate functional brake system. See page 27
and back cover for additional brake information.
Note: Some aftermarket camper centers offer
kits which may allow vehicles with automatic
transmissions to be flat-towed. Check your new
vehicle Warranty Guide, as this could void the
warranty of your vehicle.
