Maintenance and Modifications

The suspension and steering systems on your vehicle have been designed

and tested to provide predictable performance whether loaded or empty

and durable load carrying capability. For this reason, Ford Motor

Company strongly recommends that you do not make modifications such

as adding or removing parts (such as lift kits or stabilizer bars) or by

using replacement parts not equivalent to the original factory equipment.

Any modifications to a vehicle that raise the center of gravity can make

it more likely the vehicle will roll over as a result of a loss of control.

Ford Motor Company recommends that caution be used with any vehicle

equipped with a high load or device (such as ladder racks or pickup box

cover).

Failure to maintain your vehicle properly may void the warranty, increase

your repair cost, reduce vehicle performance and operational capabilities

and adversely affect driver and passenger safety. Frequent inspection of

vehicle chassis components is recommended if the vehicle is subjected to

heavy off-road usage.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very

slowly especially when the depth is not known. Never drive through

water that is higher than the bottom of the hubs (for trucks) or the

bottom of the wheel rims (for cars). When driving through water,

traction or brake capability may be limited. Also, water may enter your

engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine or your vehicle may

stall. Driving through deep water where the transmission vent

tube is submerged may allow water into the transmission and

cause internal transmission damage.

Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your

vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.

Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as quickly as dry brakes.

SNOWPLOWING

For F–150 snowplow applications, Ford recommends the F–150 4x4

Regular Cab and SuperCab equipped with the 5.4L engine, Heavy Duty

Payload Package and Snow Plow Prep Package. F–150 SuperCrew is not

available, or recommended, for snowplowing.
