126crosby,
We are considering an F-150, 4x4 Auto for flat towing in the future. I'm not a fan of ANY gizmos that have to be added or, alter the drive characteristics of any vehicle just so it can be towed. There are many, many vehicles that come right from the factory, that are flat towable by simply following a guided set of instructions prior to driving away.

X2, I feel that these "gizmos" are only useable for those who already have their toad, can't afford or justify to buy the proper toad, and have to adapt it. If one is looking to buy a vehicle to be used as a toad, only a "fool" would intentionally buy one that requires a drive shaft disconnect, tranny oil pump, etc. and check the owner's manual before you buy, do not take a 3rd party's recommendation, etc. or just because somebody here sez "I towed my 1952 Edsel 400000000 miles with no problem" I would not go against the mfrs. recommendation, especially if it is still under warranty.
