If it is a 4-wheel drive, Ford may be able to make a modification to the programming. If it is a 2 wheel drive, you need the Remco pump or the axle disconnect.

Welcome abouard.

I had a '99 Explorer.

If it's the V6 with 4WD, then the dealer needs to install a neutral tow kit, and you're good to go.

If it's a V8 AWD, then it is not towable, as there is no neutral tow kit available, but REMCO may be able to help.

As Ken posted above, Remco may be able to help if it's 2WD.
