To ensure that the electrical system is not damaged, you will require a

trailer tow package which includes a trailer tow module and the

necessary wiring to connect the trailer tow module to the electrical

system and to the trailer. This option is available through your dealer or

through Ford Customer Service Division. Please refer to Preparing to

tow for further information.

Do not exceed the maximum loads listed on the Certification label. For

load specification terms found on the label, refer to Vehicle loading in

this chapter. Remember to figure in the tongue load of your loaded

trailer when figuring the total weight.

Engine - 3.9L Kg (Lbs.)

Maximum GCWR 2 472 (5 331)

Maximum trailer weight rating 454 (1 000)

Maximum trailer tongue weight 45 (100)

Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer

weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in

engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of control

and personal injury.

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer, and make sure it is

properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer

dealer if you require assistance.

Hitches

Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper. Use a load

carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that 10% of

the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue.

Safety chains

Always connect the trailer’s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers

of the vehicle hitch. To connect the trailer’s safety chains, cross the

chains under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners.

If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions that the rental agency

gives to you.

Do not attach safety chains to the bumper.
