My Dad has a 2011 Ranger 4x4 automatic and he would like to tow it from Oregon to Arizona behind his RV. Is this doable? My dad seems to think there may be an oiling kit for the automatic he may be able to install. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Check with the Ford dealer Darrel. I know Explorers can be programmed with an optional flat towing mode. Maybe the Ranger can too.
 






It might mention something in the owners manual, if he still has that.

4WD vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and electronic shift transfer case (Neutral tow kit accessory):

On vehicles equipped with 4WD, an accessory is available that allows you to tow your vehicle, behind another vehicle, with all the wheels on the ground. Contact your authorized dealer for more details. Do not tow your vehicle with all wheels on the ground unless you install the neutral tow kit as vehicle damage may occur.
 






That's what I was looking for.
Thanks Everyone!!
