It is an easy disconnect at the pos terminal. Just disconnect and don't worry about it. I have a 13 Taurus and have to do this. After your 5 minute run in the morn, just use a 10mm wrench and pull the cable off the battery. Much easier than jumping the battery.

Do you know if it matters if the positive or negative side is disconnected?
As someone stated above there are some cars that need to be flat towed without the battery been disconnected, not sure if the explorer is one of those. However if it can be towed with the battery disconnected then couldn't I just leave it in neutral and take the key out?
Yes, you could just take the key out. Mine is push button start, so I have to do the battery. It won't turn off. I do the POS cable because it is just closer. I just do not do the NEG cable because it can still connect the circuit by just touching metal and I do not want that. If the POS touches anything it won't do a thing. Preference.
