TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (IF

EQUIPPED)

WARNING

Turning off trailer sway control

increases the risk of loss of vehicle

control, serious injury or death. Ford

does not recommend disabling this feature

except in situations where speed reduction

may be detrimental (such as hill climbing),

the driver has significant trailer towing

experience, and can control trailer sway

and maintain safe operation.

Note: This feature does not prevent trailer

sway, but reduces it once it begins.

Note: This feature cannot stop all trailers

from swaying.

Note: In some cases, if vehicle speed is too

high, the system may activate multiple

times, gradually reducing vehicle speed.

This feature applies your vehicle brakes at

individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces

engine power. If the trailer begins to sway,

the stability control light flashes and the

message TRAILER SWAY REDUCE

SPEED appears in the information display.

The first thing to do is slow your vehicle

down, then pull safely to the side of the

road and check for proper tongue load and

trailer load distribution. See Load

Carrying (page 176).

RECOMMENDED TOWING

WEIGHTS

Note: Do not exceed a trailer

weight of 5000 pounds (2268

kilograms) when towing with, or

by, bumper only.

Note: Make sure to take into

consideration trailer frontal area.

Do not exceed 60 feet

2

(5.6

meters

2

) trailer frontal area.

Note: Exceeding this limitation

may significantly reduce the

performance of your towing

vehicle. Selecting a trailer with a

low aerodynamic drag and rounded

front design helps optimize

performance and fuel economy.

Note: For high altitude operation,

reduce the gross combined weight

by 2% per 1000 feet (300 meters)

starting at the 1000 foot (300

meter) elevation point.

Note: Certain states require

electric trailer brakes for trailers

over a specified weight. Be sure to

check state regulations for this

specified weight. The maximum

trailer weights listed may be limited

to this specified weight, as your

vehicle's electrical system may not

include the wiring connector

needed to use electric trailer

brakes.

Your vehicle may tow a class I, II,

III and IV trailer or fifth-wheel

trailer provided the maximum

trailer weight is less than or equal

to the maximum trailer weight

listed for your vehicle

configuration on the following

chart.
