Towing 1990 Broncoii

As said you could, BLOCK THE WHEELS, and remove shift motor, then manually turn shift rod to Neutral, vehicle will roll away so block the wheels FIRST

Where's your sense of adventure?!?!

No, you can't flat tow it as is

There is a NEUTRAL on the electric shift transfer cases, there is just not a selection for it on the switch or in the 4x4 module that operates the shift motor

Look here: https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/how-to-rebuild-4x4-shift-motor.123542/

4th picture down shows the transfer case gear selections, its in 2WD in the picture, 2H
Opposite 2H is NEUTRAL , between 4H and 4L, its unmarked but is there

You need to hold it in neutral so visegrip the rod and tie it off


In the long run you could add a neutral switch, the shift motor has internal contacts for the neutral position
So you could add a switch to move shift motor to neutral position and hold it there

Ford used to sell a kit for that, a Neutral switch kit

I wish ida known about pulling the shift motor back when i had my expedition....

Hit a deer and punched the oil filter open ford so smartly mounted right behind the friggin bumper.

Flat towed it 4 miles and ended up having to buy a trans.
