I have a 2011 Ford Ranger, auto and 4WD. I tow it 4-down. Bought it new, had to get a Ford Only "Transfer Case Disconnect Kit" for it. 400 bucks.
However, I'm not aware of anything like that for a F-150 4WD auto....or any F-150 with an automatic tranny.
I could be wrong....check your owners' manual.
BTW, I've heard of others that install that kit themselves and re-program the computer themselves. That MIGHT void any warranty on a new vehicle. I was not willing to take that kind of chance, so I paid my money. All's well...tows just fine.
((Edited to say: A Ford F-150 TWO WHEEL DRIVE automatic may be towed 4 down with a "driveshaft disconnect" (used to be made by REMCO who sold it to someone else..gotta look it up)...if they still make them at all. Good luck with that. Over the years I've met quite a few folks who have used the (old) REMCO disconnect with excellent results. Last time I checked , some years ago, they went for around 800 bucks, complete. You do the install or have it done.))
