Did you ever get a response to your question? I tow a 2003 Explorer behind my motorhome. The neutral tow kit is nothing more than an indicator light (shows whether the transfer case is in neutral). I made my own and installed it. If you need further information let me know.

It depends if there is an electronic transfer case for the 4X4. Some 4X4's transfer case can be shifted manually. I would think if you've towed it for any length of time it's okay.

I have a 2003 4.6L V8 4WD. The neutral tow kit has been discontinued. Can't understand why you can't get parts for a vehicle that's only 7 years old.

Neutral Tow Kit I've been informed that Ford has discontinued the neutral tow kit so anybody with a Ford 4X4 cannot tow their vehicle flat (on all 4 wheels). My question is: Is the neutral tow kit just an idiot light that confirms that you've followed the right sequence of steps to get the...
