I did call the Ford dealer here in Sarasota and talked to their service department. The advisor actually went over to their aftermarket guy and he said he never installs a battery disconnect, and he always puts in a trickle charge device. Never had a problem. I guess I'll go with that.

I wouldn't trust anything the dealer tells you unless they put it in writing on Ford letterhead. Have you heard of the recent class action lawsuit Ford lost over Focus and Fiesta dual clutch transmissions? This may have nothing to do with towing 4 down but as I read about the suit I couldn't help but recall the multiple horror stories of Focus and Fiestas transmissions blowing up (as well as the engine) while they were being flat towed.
