Pjc as in pat Chicas?

Yes, the truck pretty much fit my needs all along but, really shined with the increased towing capacity and the ability to flat tow. Both upgrades in 2012.

Ok, it's Cody your old neighbor. My dad and I were surprised you didn't have one of the first raptors regardless. I imagine yours will be looking pretty cool soon

I read here that the new models have a series of button pushing, shifting, and holding your tongue just right to get the transfer case in neutral to allow for towing four down.

Since this is obviously some kind of electronic method, is there a mod or upgrade that can be done to the 2011 models that will do this as well?

It's pretty easy to get it in to neutral.
Check out the post from Mcmannus under the comparison sticky. I cannot like it from my phone.

As far as I know, 2010-2011 models you are not able to flat tow.

2010-2011 Ford Raptor flat towing is for emergencies only. 35 mph max for 50 miles max. Only way to flat tow is with a manual transfer case that has Neutral.

You need a drive line disconnect put in place to do this. Or you can pull off your driveshaft, install hitch and lights, and go. Replace driveshaft when you want to drive the pickup around. Those are your only options, unless you get a trailer to tow the pickup around on.

And at around $325 a tire (yeah yeah I know you can get them a little cheaper) I wouldn't want to waste the tires anymore than you had to.

I agree, cheaper in the long run to buy a trailer..
