• When the vehicle is turned off, the TBC output is disabled and the

display is shut down; turning the ignition from off to on awakens the

TBC module.

• The TBC is only a factory- or dealer-installed item; Ford is not

responsible for warranty or performance of the TBC due to misuse or

customer installation.

• Do not attempt removal of the TBC without consulting the

Workshop Manual; damage to the unit may result.

Trailer Lamps

Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running

lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. Contact

your authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions

and equipment for hooking-up trailer lamps.

Using a step bumper (if equipped)

The rear bumper is equipped with an integral hitch and only requires a ball

with a one inch (25.4 mm) shank diameter. The bumper has a 5,000 lb

(2,270 kg) trailer weight and 500 lb (227 kg) tongue weight capacity.

If it is necessary to relocate the trailer hitch ball position, a

frame-mounted trailer hitch must be installed.

Driving while you tow

When towing a trailer:

• Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500 miles

(800 km) of trailer towing and don’t make full-throttle starts.

• Turn off the speed control. The speed control may shut off

automatically when you are towing on long, steep grades.

• Activate the tow/haul feature to eliminate excessive transmission

shifting and assist in transmission cooling. For additional information,

refer to Automatic transmission operation in the Driving chapter.

• Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached; anticipate

stops and brake gradually.

If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac威 with RSC, you may

experience AdvanceTrac威 with RSC activations during typical cornering

maneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer; this is normal. Cornering at a

slower speed while towing will reduce the tendency of the AdvanceTrac威

stability enhancement system to activate.
