Cannot get 2025 Base 2.3L w/SAS manual transmission into flat tow mode

[9100toZero]

manual states: ACCessory > hold down 2H > hold Brake and when I go to Settings, it says I haven’t completed the prerequisites. Anybody else with MANUAL experience this, am I missing a step?

Switch your vehicle to accessory mode by pressing the push button ignition switch without pressing any pedals.

Press the 2H button on the four-wheel drive mode control.

Leave the gearshift lever in the neutral position and fully press and hold both the clutch and the brake pedal.

Using the instrument cluster controls on the steering wheel, select Settings.

Select Neutral Tow.

Press and hold the OK button until a confirmation message appears in the IPC display.

i've also found if the bronco is not level enough it won't satisfy the requirements.

Seeing stories of people having issue with flat towing Broncos. I know it's a pita using a trailer when RVing. Ford will not warranty a transmission if something fails. Just not worth it to me. Just my 2 cents.

Along with the other advice do not hold the 2H button down, just monetary press it.

All of the problems I have seen with flat towing all involve the 4a transfer case. I think peasants like myself with the traditional TC are not seeing problems, though I've never tried to flat tow it myself.

I didn’t know the clown Stroppe came with a manual transmission?

Same thing but you push clutch to the floor along with the brake.
