Flat tow a 2005 Aviator?

I am considering buying a 2005 Lincoln Aviator. Can that vehicle be flat towed? I would be looking at towing it behind an RV.

Thanks,
David

Aviators come in two versions.

AWD
2WD, there is no 4WD drive version.


The owners manual states:

AWD can NOT be flat towed.

2WD can be flat towed in nuetral at up to 35 MPH for a distance not to exceed 50 Miles. Any further or faster the driveshaft must be dropped.
