I know this has been beat to death what you can an cant tow flat but I cant decide what is the correct answer to my case.
I bought a 4x4 automatic f150 Ford year 2002 . Is it towable flat or not . I do understand that the vehicle is to heavy for most if not all lazy daze units this is not my concern at this point.
Thanks for any info

The definitive official answer will be found in the owner's manual. For Ford manuals, you can check here: https://www.fleet.ford.com/parts-service/resources/owner-manuals/
Motorhome magazine maintains an unofficial, mostly accurate, but not always 100% complete list of towable vehicles by year:

Finally, there are some vehicles that people do tow for many many miles without problem, although it's not 'officially' recommended. You take some chances, but that's a risk many are willing to take. For those, I look to see if roadmaster or blue ox make a base plate for the vehicle. If they do, it means someone else at some point has towed a similar vehicle (perhaps with a different engine or transmission, so you have to do some research here).

If it has it is four-wheel drive, it can be towed. The Owner's Manual should have the procedure used for towing.
A two-drive is not towable without disconnecting the driveshaft.
