FORD 2004 Ranger v.3 - Manual (Page 133)

Vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and 4x4 vehicles
equipped with an electronic-shift transfer case and a manual
transmission:
4x2 vehicles with automatic transmissions, 4x4 vehicles with an
electronic-shift transfer case and automatic transmission and 4x4
vehicles equipped with an electronic-shift transfer case and manual
transmission follow these guidelines for recreational towing:
• Release the parking brake.
• Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF/UNLOCKED position.
• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
• Do not exceed a distance of 50 miles (80 km).
• Do not exceed 35 mph (56 km/h) vehicle speed.
• The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transfer case components.
If a distance of 50 miles (80 km) or a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) must
be exceeded, you must disconnect the front (4x4 only) and rear
driveshafts. Ford recommends the driveshafts be removed/installed only
by a qualified technician. See your local dealer for driveshaft
removal/installation.
Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft can cause
transmission fluid or transfer case fluid loss, damage to the
driveshaft and internal transmission and transfer case
components.
