I know this is a crazy question but I will ask it anyway. Can the new F150 with automatic transmission be towed?

Behind a motorhome with 4 wheels on the road. Hopefully for long distances.

Could it be towed on a dolly?

From what I have been reading, electronic (shift on the fly) 4x4s cannot be flat towed with the wheels on the ground aka dingy

I believe this issue is solved on the 2012's with the new auto transfercase. Otherwise you had to have the manual shift transfercase. If you already have the truck, it would be very feasible to swap the switch and control module to a 2012 with the neutral tow capability.
