- AmenExplorerIf 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? - BarneySExplorer IIIMoved to Dinghy Towing forum from Towing.

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!
