Have dealer sign an affidavit stating that the vehicle is SAFE to flat tow. when you do tow it and if the transmission is destroyed you will have something in writing.
those of us who have paid FORD for destroyed transmissions should get refunds for repairs from faulty engineering. don't hold your breath. i have not found ford to be customer oriented at all.
happened to a bunch of us. Same story, ruined transmission, vacation, built ford tough means tough to warrant. VERY UNHAPPY WITH FORD. they need a class action filed. perhaps when it get to the hundreds of cases something positive will happen.
mine was until it wasn't. $6,300.00 transmission destroyed and no warranty with less than 6k miles. You are gambling big if you flat tow. I am [and many others] are living proof.
I really wanted one as well. Bought one to tow behind the RV for long summer trips. After being assured by anyone i asked at ford etc i started towing. Long story ...short. Transmission blew up and $6,300.00 later [warranty denied]spent another 4k on a trailer. If you ever want to tow, buy a...
Definitely not worth it. The factory warranty isn’t any good after I blew out my transmission by merely flat towing it behind my RV and Ford said it was my $6300 problem if they cannot guarantee Factory work how in the hell are they going to guarantee extending that?
we sold wrangler to buy ford bronco, big mistake. Bronco's continue to fail flat tow by seasoned drivers. Great ideas, BAD engineering and awful customer satisfaction. My trans fix cost me $6,287.00 plus 3k for a car hauler. ford SUX!
same thing happened to me, i posted back in August 2023. Ford was HAPPY to have me EAT $6,800.00 of their BAD engineering. We are in the process of filing suit under Magnuson/moss [lemon law]. I have been a ford owner for 40+ years and could not be more frustrated, disappointed disgusted with...
yea, i lost that bet. $6,800.00 later and ruined vacation 5 days drive from home. dealer blamed me for not following flat tow protocols. [on the 18th time]
my advise if still under warranty....
hire a lemon law attorney, you will file suit under the Magnuson-moss act of legislation regarding the "lemon" ford sold you.
my badlands 2022 flat towed [over 4k miles] great too until it didn't. $6,800.00 later they told me it was failure due to not following flat tow protocols. i am buying a trailer until FORD fesses' up to their engineering failures. i am suing ford in the mean time. been a ford owner for over 40...
I posted the exact issue with my 2022 badlands a few months ago. Ford told me it my $7,000 problem. I had towed 16-20 times without incident then all the sudden i became stupid and ruined the transmission by not following flat tow protocols. Go figure. I have hired a lemon law attorney to recoup...
