Towing a 2007 Lincoln Mark LT 4 Flat HELP!

I will be towing a 2007 Lincoln Mark LT 4 flat. It has on the fly 4wd. No neutral position on the 4wd switch. Just 2WD 4H 4L. Has anyone had an experience towing one of these trucks?

Thanx!

  • If I take the driveshaft off do I need to leave the truck running while it is in neutral? Or can I leave it off? Also...is it ok to lock the steering or do I need to have it unlocked?

    Does this work with the Lincoln? Some are saying not?

    Not sure why they had to make it different than the F150?

  • Taken from a copy of the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT owners manual.

    RECREATIONAL TOWING
    Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational towing. An
    example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind a
    motorhome. These guidelines are designed to ensure that your
    transmission is not damaged.
    Vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and 4x4 vehicles
    equipped with an electronic-shift transfer case:
    Release the parking brake.
    Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF position.
    Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
    Do not exceed a distance of 50 miles (80 km).
    Do not exceed 35 mph (56 km/h) vehicle speed.
    The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
    damage is done to the internal transfer case components.
    If a distance of 50 miles (80 km) or a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) must
    be exceeded, you must disconnect the front (4x4 only) and rear
    driveshafts. Ford recommends the driveshafts be removed/installed only
    by your authorized.
    Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft can cause
    transmission fluid or transfer case fluid loss, damage to the
    driveshaft and internal transmission and transfer case
    components.

    Good luck!
