 When I look at the owners manual for my '03 it states specifically the 4X4 automatic can be flat towed, (recreational) when dealer installed kit is installed. 
My research has shown that the kit consists of a LED light plugged into a connector under the steering wheel column (green end on connector) and a change to the GEM module to enable transfer case neutral.
The instructions I have been able to find to accomplish this update refers to NGS NGS+ and WDS systems for the Ford tech to make changes. Apparently these are all obsolete methods and the Ford dealerships in my area use the IDS. I also have contacted "FORScan" that is NOT a feature that is available. 
Right now I am stuck trying to find an Independent shop that uses the Ford NGS NGS+ or WDS. I  will include the instructions that I have found for anyone who can figure out how to make these changes to the GEM

USING NGS SERVICE (GREEN) CARD
CONNECT TO VEHICLE VIA THE DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR
SELECT “SERVICE BAY FUNCTIONS”
SELECT “4X4 CONTROL MODULE”
SELECT “NEUTRAL TOW FUNCTION”
SELECT “EXPLORER”
PRESS TRIGGER AND SCROLL TO ENABLE OR DISABLE
PRESS TRIGGER AGAIN AFTER HIGHLIGHTING THE DESIRED STATE PRESS “DONE” 
USING NGS+
SELECT PROPER VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR
SELECT DIAGNOSTIC DATA LINK
SELECT 4X4 MODULE
SELECT FUNCTION TESTS
SELECT NEUTRAL TOW ENABLE
SCROLL TO ENABLE OR DISABLE NTF AND PRESS TRIGGER 
USING WDS
CONNECT TO VEHICLE VIA THE DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR
FOLLOW HOOK UP SCREEN
AFTER WDS DISPLAYS VEHICLE INFO, SELECT TOOL BOX ON TOP OF SCREEN FROM ON SCREEN MENU SELECT “MODULE PROGRAMMING”
SELECT “PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETTERS”
SELECT “NEUTRAL TOW FUNCTION”
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON THE WDS TO COMPLETE OPERATION 
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LABEL ON THE HEADLINER / VISOR LABEL TO ENABLE AND DISABLE NEUTRAL FUNCTION.
