Towing a 2007 Lincoln Mark LT 4 Flat HELP!

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?

Moved to Dinghy Towing forum from Towing.

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!

The best answer is in the owners manual.
