Question Towing 98 Ex four down

I have a 98 Explorer 5.0 AWD and was wondering if there is a way to tow it "four down" behind our motorhome. I know there are kits to make it possible to tow most of them four down but haven't heard of one for the AWD models.

thanks,

John

I think with AWD you're outta luck; IIRC the neutral tow kits are for 4WD only. Check in the Towing Forum to make sure I'm not giving you bad info.

Just get a trailer, saves wear and tear on the vehicle anyway.

Well, I've thought about a trailer, however it's hard enough to find space to put a dolly in a campground let alone a 16 or 18' trailer. And I don't need another trailer to store in the off season.

thanks anyway,
