Lincoln Aviator: Towing / Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels

Emergency Towing

WARNING: If your vehicle has a steering wheel lock make sure the ignition is in the accessory or on position when being towed.

If your vehicle becomes inoperable without access to wheel dollies or a vehicle transport trailer, it can be flat-towed with all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain and transmission configuration, under the following conditions:

Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction.
Refer to the Manual Park Release procedure. Failing to do so could result in damage to the transmission.
Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
Maximum distance is 50 mi (80 km).

Note: If you are unsure of the vehicle’s configuration, contact an authorized dealer.

Recreational Towing - Front-Wheel Drive Vehicles (If Equipped)

You cannot recreational tow your vehicle with all wheels on the ground because vehicle or transmission damage could occur. Place the front wheels on a two-wheel tow dolly. If you are using a tow dolly, follow the instructions specified by the equipment provider.

Recreational Towing - Rear-Wheel Drive Vehicles (If Equipped)

You cannot recreational tow your vehicle with all wheels on the ground because vehicle or transmission damage could occur. We recommend towing your vehicle with all four wheels off the ground, such as when using a car-hauling trailer. Otherwise, you cannot recreational tow your vehicle.

Recreational Towing - All-Wheel and Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles (If Equipped)

Essential Towing Checks

Follow these guidelines for safe towing: Do not tow a trailer until you drive your vehicle at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km). Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer...

Children and Airbags

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child restraint. Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. If you must use a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, move the seat upon which the child restraint is installed all the way back.
