How’s that? Check this out: standard TRAILER SWAY CONTROL uses a yaw motion sensor in the AdvanceTrac
®
with RSC
®
(Roll Stability Control
TM
) system to detect trailer sway through the motions of the truck. AdvanceTrac can then
automatically take countermeasures, such as selective wheel braking and reducing engine torque, to help maintain control of
both the truck and trailer.

Activating TOW/HAUL MODE on the 6-speed automatic transmission helps reduce gear hunting,
keeping the engine in its optimum power range while cruising or climbing grades. On downhill grades, the transmission uses
engine braking to help slow the truck and its load. The factory-integrated TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER option uses
braking input, vehicle speed and information from the vehicle’s Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) to balance the performance of
the truck brakes and electric trailer brakes. F-150 is the first and only truck that combines class-leading towing capability in
every cab type, the stabilization technology of standard Trailer Sway Control, and an optional integrated Trailer Brake Controller.
The result: TOWING CONFIDENCE like you’ve never even imagined.

Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for
the conditions. For more information on Ford vehicle stability systems, visit fordvehicles.com.

Maximum capability when properly equipped. See your Ford Dealer
for specific equipment and other limitations.
TRAILER TOW MIRRORS manually telescope and fold
forward or backward so you can get through tight spaces.
Whether you’re towing or not, the large viewing area and
convex lens on these available mirrors help improve visibility
and reduce blind spots.
REAR VIEW CAMERA option takes the full-color
image from a camera mounted in the tailgate and displays
it in your auto-dimming rearview mirror or on the available
Navigation System’s 8" screen (shown). Just shift into
reverse for a wide-
angle view behind
the truck. The
video display’s
built-in distance
guide is ideal for
trailer hookups.
YEAH, WELL YOUR TRAILER’S
REIGN OF TERROR
IS OVER.
