It is so simple to disconnect. I have the Taurus, same/same. 10MM nut, less than 30 seconds, and you can just reconnect for 6 hour starts. Battery stay muy charged this way and all the settings are saved. And you don't have to drive forward and backward, just run it for at least 5 mins and when you put it in N, just go to D, the R, then N. Shut it off. This gets lots of Tranny fluid in the trans.

I have 2 Jeeps and the Taurus that I tow. Taurus is the easiest.

The requirement for battery disconnect starts with the 2015 Edge. That's why I ended up with a 2013. After 42 years in high-tech, I want my life to be simple!

We have a 14 Edge. The owners manual says to drive in forward and reverse for a minimum of 5 minutes before towing. Repeat every 600 miles. No mention of battery disconnect.
