Hi Group,
After countless days and hours online researching and personally speaking
with many people at Ford dealers and the Ford Motor Company Relationship
Center I "Think" I finally have it resolved.
First the rundown.
(6) Ford dealers called said No I cant flat tow.
(4) Ford dealers called said Yes I can.
Remco said Yes. Any manual Trans 2 wheel drive can be flat towed and my Ford
F150 had no towing speed limits.
Ford Motor Company Relationship Center, first misquoted the manual and then
the 05 Ford Motorhome towing guide. After I pointed out that the info they
presented did not cover the stick shift F-150 2 wheel drives they wanted to
give up and refer me to a dealer again. I said I had already got
conflicting info from the dealers I had contacted. After over an hour and a
half on the phone they said No it couldn't be flat towed. When I then
pressed for an explanation as to why not I was passed up the food chain and
asked to leave my VIN # with a promise that I would receive a call in less
than 24 hours with a determination. Well low and behold I just received a
return call in just under the 24 hour time frame with a YES I can tow my 05
Ford F-150 manual transmission 2 wheel drive. But speed must be held under
55 MPH.
I was tempted to ask why only 55 but left well enough for today. When I
asked for a hard copy of the determination that it could be towed I received
a firm NO we don't do that. But being persistent I found out that it was now
a permanent part of Ford records under the VIN #. Unless somebody deletes
the record I am covered for 5 more months of warranty flat towing however
good or bad that may turn out. Just to be sure I called Ford again and had
them check their records under my Vin # and believe it or not their flat
towing Yes answer was noted.
Don't you just love a happy ending ? Thanks for all the replys.
