Expert Reply:

Yes, a 2016 Ford Explorer (4WD) can be flat-towed with all four wheels down so long as it has the 3.5L V6 or 3.5L EcoBoost V6 Engine. That said, there are no modification needed for this unless a specific flat-tow part you are looking at requires this. I have attached some parts for you below as well that you will need.
