What Fords Can Be Flat Towed?

Flat towing, also known as dinghy towing, allows drivers to tow a vehicle behind an RV or larger vehicle without needing a trailer. Many Ford models are compatible with flat towing, making them a popular choice for adventurers who want to bring their vehicle along for the ride. Here’s a look at which Ford models can be flat towed, what flat towing is, and how Pennyrile Ford can assist you.

Ford Models That Can Be Flat Towed

The following Ford models are typically flat towable, depending on specific configurations:

  • Ford Bronco (4x4 models with manual or automatic transmission)

  • Ford F-150 (4x4 models with a neutral tow feature)

  • Ford Ranger (4x4 models with manual transfer case)

  • Ford Edge (AWD models)

  • Ford Escape (hybrid models only)

  • Ford Expedition (4x4 models with proper towing configurations)

Always check your owner’s manual or consult with a dealership to confirm towing compatibility for your specific vehicle.

What Is Flat Towing?

Flat towing involves towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, without a dolly or trailer. To flat tow a vehicle, it must be equipped with a transmission and drivetrain that can disengage from the powertrain while in tow. This allows the wheels to roll freely without damaging the vehicle. Ford vehicles that are flat towable are designed to handle this type of towing safely.
