Flat towing 2021 4 wd ranger

[tmdepue]

Purchased a 2021 ranger 4wd with the intent of flat towing behind our class c rv. Manual shows and many posts indicate this will not be an issue. We have previously had older tj jeep that was flat towed w/o any issues. Purchased and had installed a blue ox base plate, Demco stay in play braking system, also wired in a Bluetti charger/inverter and battery maintenance charger to keep 12 v system charged while flat towing ranger . After towing, after placing ranger back in normal driving mode, ranger makes a loud grinding, ratcheting sound. Turn truck off and restart issue goes away. Have seen posts where ford blames owner for not shifting to neutral tow mode ( we have followed ford instructions exactly) what causes this problem and will it damage my truck? Thanks in advance. Concerned about flat towing behind our..

Almost seems the kind of thing you'd almost have to video each step you take every time you flat tow just to cover your butt with Ford.
Sheesh!

I've got a 2022 Tremor and towed it between 8k-9k miles and have no problem. Let us know what you find out.
