2004 Ford F150 4x4 auto can I tow
I have heard I can tow my pick-up. What is it I have to do to it to be able to tow long distances? 5.4 Triton auto trans 4x4 thanks. Chuck

This is one of those things that, if it were possible that any F-150 4x4 manufactured prior to 2012, were ADAPTABLE to four down flat towing, WITHOUT DISCONNNECTING ANY DRIVE SHAFT, it for sure, would have been posted on here or, any other RV forum, that either does or does not have a Dinghy towing section. The question of towing a truck, ANY F-150 FULL SIZED TRUCK that is, has been brought up several times, on many forums and I have yet to read, ever, that someone DOES tow a pre-2012 F-150 4x4, with an ELECTRONICALLY SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE.
Now, does that mean that it's never done, or hasn't been done, nope, not at all. It simply means I've never read of anyone doing it, on any RV forum. But, I figure if someone's got a plan to make a pre-2012 F-150 4x4 flat towable, and that includes either a dealership or, even the manufacturer, that, that plan would get out and it would, sooner or later, be posted on here or, any other RV forum.
Now, at present the only towing guides I have as a reference, are the Trailer life and or, Motor home magazine ones. And of course, other RVers I've spoken with, a zillion times while at RV parks or, campgrounds that tow, the 2012 or later F-150s.
