Neutral Flat Tow Activation and Deactivation - Raptor: Activation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Shifting the transfer case to its neutral position for neutral flat towing may allow the vehicle to be able to roll even if the transmission is in park (P). Make sure the foot brake is depressed and the vehicle is in a secure and safe position while the transfer case is being shifted to its neutral position. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not disconnect the battery during neutral flat towing. Doing so will prevent the transfer case from shifting properly and may allow the vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in park (P). Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: 2WD vehicles cannot be flat towed with any of the wheels on the ground. Vehicle or transmission damage will occur.
NOTE: Failure to put the transfer case in its NEUTRAL position will damage vehicle components.
NOTE: You can only tow a 4WD vehicle with all wheels on the ground by placing the transfer case in its NEUTRAL position and engaging the four-wheel-down towing feature. Perform the following steps after positioning your vehicle behind the tow vehicle and properly securing them together.
NOTE: Neutral flat tow status can be checked at any time by opening the driver door or turning the ignition to the ACC or ON position and checking the display in the IPC.
NOTE: Make sure you properly secure your vehicle to the tow vehicle.
  1. Put the ignition in the ON position, but do not start the engine. If your vehicle has an ignition key, turn the key to on. If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine START/STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal.
  2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
  3. Rotate the four-wheel drive switch to 2H.
  4. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
  5. Enable Neutral Tow through the information display by selecting Settings from the cluster menu.
  6. Then select Advanced Settings.
  7. Then select Vehicle.
  8. Then select Neutral Tow.
    NOTE: If completed successfully, the IPC displays "NEUTRAL TOW LEAVE IN N" or "NEUTRAL TOW ENABLED LEAVE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL", indicating that the vehicle is safe to tow with all wheels on the ground.
    NOTE: If the message is not shown in the display, the entire procedure must be performed again.
    NOTE: An audible noise may be heard as the transfer case shifts into neutral position, this is normal operation.
  9. Leave the transmission in position N and turn the ignition as far as it will go toward the off position (it will not turn fully off when the transmission is in position N). If your vehicle has an ignition key, you must leave the key in the ignition while towing. To lock and unlock your vehicle, use the keyless entry keypad or extra set of keys. If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine START/STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal. You do not need to leave your keys in the vehicle. You can lock and unlock your vehicle as you normally do.
  10. Release the brake pedal.
