Subject: Can you flat tow a Bronco II automatic 4wd?



Statesville, NC
I was considering a vehicle to get back and forth to fields, and I am mostly a one man show. Would tow behind a grain truck or possibly combine. I found a Bronco II automatic with manual transfer case. Could you tow it with the transmission in park and the transfer case in neutral? Do all the manual transfer cases have neutral?

We towed a Ranger (actually, towed a lot of different pick ups) like you desribe for a long time. Always ran the auto trans and transfer case in N, the motor running to lube the automatic.

I think you could pull it just fine like that, not all vehicles have a neutral setting in the transfer case, mostly the push button 4wd's

Any 4X4 with a N in the Transfer Case is OK , engine doesn't need to be running . nothing ahead of the TC turns if it's in N , just like nothing behind TC turns when engine is running and TC is in N

Years ago I had a chevy pickup and always towed it with the transfer case in N, but I left the engine running because of the power steering.

As long as you dont turn the key back far enough to lock it, it will steer even with the engine off. Ive put a lot of miles towing rangers/s-10's behind equipment, the big no no is not taking it out of 1st if its a manual. (I haven't done it, yet)
