When I flat tow, it ruined the transmission twice. I put it in neutral, shut the key off, disconnect the battery, reconnect after towing and start the car within the 15 minutes. I seem to be doing all that is recommended but I'm worried to ruin the transmission again.
RAV previously posted the procedures to follow to prep for flat towing. Here's a LINK to the manual for the complete instructions (see pages 256 through 258. If you are following these procedures to the letter, then you shouldn't be having any problems ruining your transmission.
I would suggest taking these instructions to your Ford dealer and review them with the service manager to make sure you're following them correctly.
