Why does the battery have to be disconnected?
Don't know, but the owner's manual is quite clear on this for recreational towing. Right from the manual below.
"Caution
Failure to disconnect the negative
battery cable or to have it contact
the terminals can cause damage
to the vehicle.
8. Disconnect the negative
battery cable at the battery and
secure the nut and bolt. Cover
the negative battery post with a
non-conductive material to
prevent any contact with the
negative battery terminal"
