Flat Bed

NOTICE: On vehicles equipped with an air

suspension system, be sure the air suspension

service switch is turned off prior to the vehicle being

tied down.

NOTICE: Never hook a J-hook

to any suspension or driveline

component.

When using a flatbed to transport a vehicle, unless

indicated otherwise, use a T-hook inserted in the

appropriate tie-down slot. Never hook a J-hook to any

suspension, wheel or driveline component because

damage to these components may occur. When

using winches, care must be taken to avoid damaging

the fascia, bumper, lower body panels and/or air dams.

Wheel Lift

NOTICE: Check vehicle specifications for raised

vehicle height requirements. If these height

requirements are not followed, damage to the body

and/or the underbody may occur.

NOTICE: When towing over roads that are rough or

have crowned intersection, the following special

procedures are required when using any wheel lift

equipment. The vehicle must be secure to the wheel

lift equipment using safety chains equipped with T-

hooks or safety hooks. If this procedure is not

followed, excessive jounce travel of the suspension

may cause damage to the underbody.

1. Unless otherwise specified, attach the safety chain T-

hooks in the appropriate slot of the body or frame of the

vehicle being towed.

2. Run the chain through the hooks on the wheel lift

crossbar and attach it to the towing vehicle.

3. Make sure there is no slack in the safety chain

between the vehicle and the crossbar.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other side of the

vehicle.

Slingbelts

Ford Motor Company does not

recommend the use of slingbelt

towing. Using slingbelt towing

procedures may cause damage

to the fascia, lower body panels,

air dams and/or other components.

Towing Speeds and Distance

NOTE: If a distance of 50 mi (80 km) and/or a speed of

35 mph (55 km/h) is exceeded, or when the vehicle is

towed with the drive wheels on the ground, position

dollies under the wheels. Towing speed should not

exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when the vehicle is towed with

the front wheels off the ground. Do not tow with both

front and rear wheels on the ground.

NOTE: On rough pavement, the maximum towing speed

is 35 mph (55 km/h). Maximum towing speed of 35 mph

(55 km/h) should be used whenever the tow truck

operator is not sure of road surface condition.

See specific model instructions for vehicle towing speed

and distance limitations.

km/h).

Refer to the dolly manufacturer for speed and weight
