While our explorer is a 2014 with key start,the situation is the same as you can't turn the key off unless in park. I use the emergency shifter release and put in neutral.

I do start it every 6 hours or so per the manual to lube the trans. No battery drainage this way. I have driven over 13 hours at a time with just the brake buddy plugged in, no dead battery and no need to hook up a charge wire. Good Luck!
