Dolly tow

There’s also no mention of the neutral tow kit. I agree a factory Explorer or Mounty would need to be on a flatbed, or skates.

A NEUTRAL TOW KIT IS ONLY FOR 4 DOWN TOWING VIA A TOW BAR, PERIOD!

Since tow trucks do not tow this way (4 down) there is no reason for a towing guide for tow trucks to mention it.

I bought a dolly today and I was trying it out... I put the explorer on the dolly and strap the front tires and I tried to move the dolly but it did not wanted to move... so my question is even with the truck on N and 4x4 off does the front tires still spen? I know I need to remove the driveshaft when in tow but I thought 4x4 is only engaged when 4x4 high or low is on?

I have a Ford Explorer Sport 2007, the truck is 4x4 all the time, when not engaged in high or low, is 30% front and 70% back.
I hope that this information is useful to you.
Good luck.
