Launching or retrieving a boat

Disconnect the wiring to the trailer before backing the trailer

into the water. Reconnect the wiring to the trailer after the

trailer is removed from the water.

When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval:

• do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of

the rear bumper.

• do not allow waves to break higher than 15 cm (6 inches) above the

bottom edge of the rear bumper.

Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components:

• causing internal damage to the components.

• affecting driveability, emissions and reliability.

Replace the rear axle lubricant any time the axle has been submerged in

water. Rear axle lubricant quantities are not to be checked or changed

unless a leak is suspected or repair required.

RECREATIONAL TOWING (ALL WHEELS ON THE GROUND)

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow

your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (such as behind a

recreational vehicle).

These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not

damaged due to insufficient lubrication.

Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) 4x2 vehicles:

This applies to all 4x2 trucks/sport utilities with rear wheel drive

capability.

• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

• Maximum speed is 56 km/h (35 mph).

• Maximum distance is 80 km (50 miles).

If a distance of 80 km (50 miles) or a speed of 56 km/h (35 mph) must

be exceeded, you must disconnect the driveshaft. Ford recommends the

driveshaft be removed/installed only by a qualified technician. See your

local dealer for driveshaft removal/installation.

Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft can cause

transmission fluid loss, damage to the driveshaft and internal

transmission components.
