Tow vehicle "key" question
I have an 09 Ford Escape Hybrid for a tow vehicle. I have to turn the ignition switch to unlock the steering wheel for towing. My question is, instead of using the factory key that has a chip in it...

I have to turn the ignition switch to unlock the steering wheel for towing. My question is, instead of using the factory key that has a chip in it for anti theft. Can I have a key made for just unlocking the wheel? If so, will it hurt anything on the car not to have a key in the ignition that doesn't have the chip? I only want to use the key when towing. Thanks

My last toad used a "chipped" key. I had hardware store duplicates made to carry in case we got locked out of the car. (Happened quite frequently). We also used them instead of the OE key when we towed and they worked perfectly. I would say have one made and see if it works.
