Our stock 2021 Bronco sport is not towable behind our motorhome, 4 down or on a dolly.
Does anyone know of any modifications available to enable towing.

I doubt there are any modifications that will let you tow your BS 4-down or on a dolly as the drivetrain is just too complex. The only option I see is to put all four wheels on a trailer.

Sorry, it's just not meant to be:

Recreational Towing - All-Wheel
and Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles (If
Equipped)

You cannot recreational tow your vehicle
with all wheels on the ground because
vehicle or transmission damage could
occur. We recommend towing your vehicle
with all four wheels off the ground, such
as when using a car-hauling trailer.
Otherwise, you cannot recreational tow
your vehicle.

Thanks anyway, thought maybe some kind of locking hubs might be available to unlock the rear wheels to spin freely

Back in in the day we had tow hubs for the race car. They were bolted to the wheel lugs and tow wheels with street tires were bolted to the tow hubs. This way nothing in the drive train moved. Not sure if tow hubs still exist as all race cars are now trailered.

I assume the BS front wheels will be off the ground? If so, you only need two tow hubs for rear wheels and maybe able to use your stock wheels / tires. With drag cars you cannot tow with slicks That is why we needed another set of street wheels / tires.

If you add a Superior Drive Line Disconnect to the sport disconnecting rear wheel would it be possible to dolly tow and/or flat tow ???
I noticed on my BadLands if auxiliary is on and you place Sport in Neutral then push the Manual button it pops up Transmission in Neutral ?????
What does this mean ?
Thanks in advance

It sounds like you started to push the buttons for the Stay in Neutral mode. You still wouldn't tow like that because you need the car running to keep the system active.

I don't know anything about Superior Driveline Disconnect. Seems like a question for them.
