E-Series Wagon
Electronically Controlled 4-speed Wide-ratio
Automatic Overdrive Transmission
An electronically controlled 4-speed wide-ratio automatic
overdrive transmission is standard on all E-150 and E-350
models with the 4.6L or 5.4L SOHC Triton
®
engines.
Features and benefits:
• Drive gear and friction materials are designed and
engineered to handle the power output of the 5.4L engine
• Torque converter provides impressive launch performance
and increased efficiency
• Fully electronic shift control provides a wide range of
smooth shifts for optimum performance
• Overdrive lowers engine rpm at highway speeds,
contributing to improved fuel economy
• “Smart” fully electronic shift scheduling coupled with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) technology calculates torque in
the next gear and regulates shift points based on the vehicles’
projected performance in the next gear
• Adaptive pressure control maintains consistent shift response
and feel over time

TM
5-speed Automatic
Overdrive Transmission
An electronically controlled 5-speed automatic overdrive
transmission that represents the highest level of transmission
performance. This transmission is standard on all E-Series
Wagon models with the 6.0L Power Stroke
®
V-8 turbo diesel
engine (does not include Tow/Haul).
Features and benefits:
• Torque converter designed to maximize low-speed
torque capability
• Pump provides significant lubrication and cooling capacity
• Drive gear and friction material provide long-term durability
• All electrohydraulic shifts are optimized with pure electronic
shift controls for more responsiveness
• Externally mounted transmission oil filter allows easier
serviceability
What Is It?
AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability
Control) is an electronic stability
enhancement system that works to improve
control on slippery, low-traction road
surfaces and to help counteract excessive
vehicle roll motion.
How Does It Work?
AdvanceTrac with RSC integrates the
functions of four major vehicle control
systems to keep the vehicle traveling along
the driver’s intended path with all four
wheels in contact with the road.
The four major vehicle control systems are:
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) – regulates brake pressure to
help prevent wheel lockup during severe braking situations,
allowing the driver to steer and control the vehicle.
Traction Control – a system that will quickly respond to any
loss of traction by reducing engine power and/or applying
brake force to the slipping wheel.
Yaw Control – this system helps to prevent fishtailing
(oversteer) or skidding (understeer) by also reducing engine
power or selectively applying force to individual brakes.
Vehicle Roll Motion Sensor – the sensor is used to measure the
roll rate of the vehicle, up to 150 times per second, and if it
detects vehicle instability, it will instantly and automatically
engage the proper vehicle control system in order to regain
control and help keep all four wheels safely on the ground.
Most competitive vehicle systems do not include roll motion
sensor and only estimate vehicle roll motion.
Benefits — AdvanceTrac with RSC adds confident stopping,
amazing grip, responsive handling and added stability.
Availability
AdvanceTrac with RSC is standard equipment on all E-350
Regular and Extended model wagons equipped with the
5.4L SOHC Triton V-8 engine and 4R75E 4-speed
automatic overdrive transmission.
