2011 FORD F SERIES MOTORHOME AND COMMERCIAL CHASSIS emergency towing

WRECKER TOWING
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional towing
service or, if you are a member of a roadside assistance program, your
roadside assistance service provider.
It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift (with the
rear wheels on the ground and the front wheels off the ground) or
flatbed equipment.
To avoid transmission damage when towing your vehicle from the front
with the rear wheels on the ground, do not exceed a maximum distance
of 50 miles (80 km) and a maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). If the
maximum distance or speed will be exceeded, the driveshaft must be
removed by a qualified technician or transmission damage will result.
If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.
When calling for a tow truck, tell the operator what kind of vehicle you
have.
Emergency towing
In case of a roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle (without access
to wheel dollies, car hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle) your
vehicle (regardless of transmission powertrain configuration) can be flat
towed (all wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:
•Vehicle is facing forward so that it is being towed in a forward
direction.
•Place the transmission in N (Neutral). Refer toBrake-shift interlock
in theDrivingchapter for specific instructions if you cannot move the
gear shift lever into N (Neutral).
•Maximum speed is not to exceed 35 mph (56 km/h).
•Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 km).
