Thanks JoeH. I was concerned with needing a charge line as the push button didn't seem to be turning off the power with the tranny in neutral but in playing with it last night I just wasn't waiting long enough. Also doesn't appear to have a steering lock so that is nice.

I have a demco towbar so will use there brackets which look like a simple install in place of the tow hooks.

I currently use a brake buddy classic as I move it between toads depending on trip location and toys but with this being such a low mile vehicle I may install a better system like the M&G. I have hesitated to install a permanent braking system as my toads are over a 100K miles on the odometer.

The hang up is the 5.5' bed and payload capacity. I haul a rzr in the bed of my chevy currently. Looks like the F150 will handle the weight but will need some sort of extension/rack built.

The M&G went it pretty easily. You do have to remove the stock airbox and put on a conical filter-- It's like a K&N but a different manufacturer.
I'm going to put airbags on the rear of my F150 today. I have a Rampage lift and haul a motorcycle with us. Sometimes a lightweight one, sometimes a heavy one(1000 lbs). The truck will squat a bit, so I figured I'd level it out with the bags. I did the same with my old Ranger.
You might want to look at picking up a used Rampage on Craigslist and make a couple side extensions to fit the RZR ( sort of like what they offer on the Ramapge for trikes). That would allow you to get the RZR in the back easily and the way the Rampage is set up, there is no weight on the tailgate or the overhang past the tailgate.

Pretty much like you said, put tranny in neutral, with ignition on, rotate the 4x4 switch 5 times in 7 seconds between 2H and 4L and the transfer case will go into neutral. It will display that Neutral Tow is enabled on the information panel. Turn off the ignition and you are good to go. No fuses to pull. Pg 267 of the owners manual has a good write up on the procedure.
I used the Blue Ox base plate. Took me a couple hours to install it as you have to remove and reinstall the bumper. I went with an M&G brake due to it's easy hook up and lack of hardware in the passenger compartment.

Tow-able 4 down
Just have to go into Neutral-Mode
