flat towing a 2000 sport

[tanbuddy]

Would it be ok to tow my explorer behind my truck for about 25 miles on back roads? I know its not good for the trans so I was thinking just let the thing idle in N or even in Drive for the trip. it would only be 1 or 2x a year I would do this.
Thanks for any replies.

One option would be to have the flat towing kit installed (which I believe is for 4x4s).

or lift the rear end and tow it that way, I believe I have read on this forum that is the proper way of towing a ford explorer 4x4, The tow kit was and option but I don't think it is available anymore by ford, maybe A1- not sure. There may be an aftermarket for it, please check and post where you find one.
