So there was a thread on here about the raptor being towed towed "ass up".
I think the conclusion was that for short distances it would be ok. The front cv shafts would be turning because the IWE would be fully locked (no slipping issues). The front transfer case wouldn't be engaged, so you don't have to worry about it running in reverse at high speed.
I'd note it with the service tech at the dealer, ask him to document it, and move on to the issue at hand.
Donate to Avery and be entered into a raffle for an awesome prize for your Raptor.

I thought I read one that was towed and it foamed the transfer oil leked a bit out the over flow, he changed oil have not herd back so must be ok. I'd agree with Yukon, but it still shouldn't happen it was just a lazy truck driver.

Mine got towed ass up by some ************* tow truck driver for 45 miles and a lot of it was highway. No issues 2000 miles later. Still pissed off about though.

Thanks for the inputs on towing.
They called me today, said it was a connecting rod cap bolt. They said all bolts were in place though. The tech has never seen a bolt in the pan in all his days so they called ford. Ford said and I quote..." It is common to find debris or foreign objects and such in the oil pan or the transmission pan from assembly. " I may not be exactly word for word but that's what the service manager told me.
They somehow verified it to be a rod bolt and said if there was no damage Ford said to button it all back up and press on. The tech also said that the factory over tightened some of the skid plate bolts and they broke when trying to take them out so they had to order more.
Also they had to order a pan gasket so I won't see the truck until Monday. He told me I could come over and look at it if I want as its up on the lift until then. I'm going to go in tomorrow. To look. I told him I want the bolt. I have not talked too him about extending the warrenty yet.
That's all I know. I had to work today so I could not be there when the pan was dropped.
