RV towing
I want to tow my 2007 F150 V-6, manual transmission behind my motor home, but can't find any information about what needs to be done to tow it safely. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

What does your owner's manual say?

I think the 2wd with manual transmission can be towed as is in neutral (obviously).

If it's a 2wd about all you will have to do is disconnect the driveshaft.

If it's a manual, why do you have to disconnect the drive shaft???

no need to disconnect the driveshaft. will you be using a towbar or a dolly. my thinking is a dolly would tow better. that way the trucks steering won't interfere with towing.

You could put the truck on it with the rear tires on the dolly and lock the steering wheel. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...tow-dolly/1683
