Thanks for chiming in @BigMeatsBronco ! I'll re-re-post this video I found on another thread. Your comments would be greatly appreciated. After viewing this video, how can you imagine this transfer case going from a neutral position to an in gear position. I found it interesting. It shows...

Thank you for you reply. At first I too thought it was a steering lock issue, but I was quickly made aware this is an antiquated security feature. And in the case of my old Dodge Dakota, only the ignition needs to be in the first position to free up the steering. Your latter comment could...

Yes, that's exactly what I was saying as a retired software engineer that work for Ford at one time. It is the classic hardware verses software debate from all time!

It would be helpful if one of the experience Ford members would explain why the Bronco transmission has to be put into neutral. It could help explain what is going on. Is putting the Bronco transmission into neutral unique to Ford vehicles that are flat tow-able? Silence seems evidence of something.

Yes, I agree! But why does Ford have use put our transmissions in neutral? It sounds like what I do with our old Dodge Dakota we have towed for well over 10 years. Yes, I put our Dakota unnecessarily into drive as a backup for some bazaar reason our manual transfer case were to go into gear...

First @Ducati1098, please can you provide more on how we can all get this software update? Does it require dealer help? Next, to you nay-sayers; Yes transmission are being destroyed while being flat towed. And Yes, owners are following the direction. This thread has way too much chatter and...

Yes I believe there should be other reports of flat tow transmission/transfer case failures. I’m one of those older demographic people. Never uses social media or forums for that matter. It was a lot of work to find 10 tow failures across 6 threads on this forum. I’m done. Maybe someone can pick...

Your welcome.

Also I agree with you. I want to tow someday. So everything you can add to understanding the root cause of problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi please keep us all up to date with what you find. Thank you.

All the ones that I found that had transmission issues from flat towing appear to all have automatic transmissions

Hi @Runyon, since we purchased our new Badlands SAS last fall and I became of the @G6Bronco flat towing problem I have been diving into this forum to learn as much as I can. We really wanted to flat tow our new Bronco. Sadly we will not be doing that. The apparent risk is to high. I am almost...

Here is a very interesting YouTube video I came across on another thread!!! It shows the internals of our tcases. It also talks about Sport mode and HA driving modes. Very good!!! It shows that in some cases all that needed to be done to repair a tcase would be to change its clutch pack...
