The troubling part is you bought the vehicle because it is (was) towable. I feel for what has happened to you. I sure would put the dealer to task and ask for them to "Show me" the secret TSB.

I've been the victim of tongue & check from dealers, but no more. It's impossible to make a good decision from conversation that may or may not be anything close to correct unless I see it in writing.

After getting off the phone with the area manager for Ford the Operable word here is "set for towing". Apparently when not towing Ford said you must raise the fluid (I never heard of that before and never had it raised). No other dealer ever gave me any issue about keeping it low.

I must have been stupid for not understanding the implication of towing/not towing meant to perform a fluid level change that is difficult to do every time - duh!
