The braking system of the tow vehicle is rated for operation at the

GVWR not GCWR.

Integrated trailer brake controller (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a fully integrated electronic Trailer

Brake Controller (TBC). When used properly, the TBC helps ensure

smooth and effective trailer braking by powering the trailer’s electric

brakes with a proportional output based on the towing vehicle’s brake

pressure.

WARNING: The Ford TBC has only been verified to be

compatible with trailers having electric-actuated drum brakes

(one to four axles) and not hydraulic surge or electric-over-hydraulic

types. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the trailer

brakes are adjusted appropriately, functioning normally and all electric

connections are properly made.

The TBC user interface consists of

the following:

1. +/- (GAIN adjustment

buttons): Pressing these buttons

will adjust the TBC’s power output

to the trailer brakes (in

0.5 increments). The GAIN setting

can be increased to a maximum of

10.0 or decreased to a minimum of 0 (no trailer braking). Pressing and

holding a button will raise or lower the setting continuously. The gain

setting will display in the message center as follows: TBC GAIN = XX.X.

The trailer brake controller (TBC) is designed to display three items of

information in the instrument cluster message center. These are: gain

setting, output bar graph, and trailer connectivity status. They will

appear as follows in the message center.

• TBC GAIN = XX.X NO TRAILER: The instrument cluster message

center will display the current gain setting during a given ignition

cycle and when adjusting the gain. This message is also displayed

during manual activation without a trailer connected or when gain

adjustments are made with no trailer connected.
