Hey Laura, so the 2010 Ford F-150 4x4 models with a manual transfer case can be flat towed but the ones with an electronic transfer case cannot. I believe that is the roof of the confusion.
So if you press a button to put the truck in 4WD then its not flat towable but if there's a manual lever instead then it is. The correct base plate kit is the # 495-1A.

Hey Laura, did that clear up the confusion about flat towing your F-150 4x4? It would be great to know if the manual transfer case setup worked with the base plate kit. Your update could help others sorting through the same question.
