Can you flat tow a 2WD F150?

I have a 2WD Ford F150, but I haven’t towed it anywhere in the past. That said, I recently bought a Winnebago, and I want to tow my truck behind it. Is it possible to flat tow a Ford F150 that has 2WD?

Eric Schad · Updated on Mar 20, 2023

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Unfortunately, you can’t flat tow a 2WD F150 under any circumstances. The Ford F-150 built on the 2WD platform isn’t designed for flat towing, and doing so can severely damage the transmission as well as void the warranty.

If you want to tow a 2WD Ford F150, the only surefire way to do so is by using a flatbed trailer. You should not use a two-wheel dolly, as it would also damage the transmission of the vehicle.

If you want to save money to purchase a flatbed trailer or you haven’t reviewed your car insurance recently, you can drastically reduce your
