1 2015 RV & TRAILER TOWING GUIDE

2 Outstanding towing capabilities. Make no mistake, 2015 Ford Pickups and Chassis Cabs are the real leaders pulling the heaviest trailers in their classes. In fact, when properly equipped, the Super Duty can handle conventional trailers up to 19,000 pounds, 5th-wheel trailers up to 26,500 pounds and gooseneck trailers up to 31,200 pounds. Decades of RV and towing experience in every configuration. Ford RV and trailer towing products continue to provide a winning combination; high-quality, reliability and high-performance and are backed by decades of RV and towing experience. SAE Towing Standard The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) testing standard J2807 defines procedures and requirements to determine gross combined weight ratings (GCWR) and to calculate the trailer weight rating (TWR) for any tow vehicle. This standard establishes minimum performance conditions to allow for consistent comparisons between similar class vehicles up to 13,000 lbs. GVWR. Ford will apply the SAE standard to all new vehicles. Ford began applying the standard on the all-new 2013 Fusion and Escape models. Other vehicles meeting this standard include Transit Connect and Flex (starting with 2014), Transit (starting with 2015), F-150 (starting with 2015) and 2015 F-450 Super Duty Pickup.

3 F-150 The Future of Tough. Built Ford Tough is taken to a new level. The 2015 F-150 combines an all-new high-strength steel frame, rated up to 70,000 psi stronger than the steel found in some competitors heavy-duty pickup truck frames with a military-grade aluminum alloy body combining the best of both materials for the toughness only Ford can deliver for outstanding towing and superior handling. The staggered rear outboard shocks help provide additional driving stability. Exceptional space, power and towing capacity make F-150 the preferred choice for towing and hauling. Features include an available integrated trailer brake controller, trailer tow mirrors and a 360-degree camera system that provides a view of all four sides of the vehicle. The Smart Trailer Tow Connector provides drivers with trailer connection status, lighting and trailer battery alerts and warnings. The Dynamic Hitch Assist enhancement to the rear camera enables easier hitching by helping to line up the truck and trailer without requiring a spotter or having to get out of the vehicle. All 4WD models include neutral tow functionality and maximum trailer tow packages include an upgraded rear bumper and trailer tow mirrors. MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY.

5 Pull the most Confidently. Super Duty Standard Trailer Sway Control Single-rear-wheel (SRW) models Trailer Sway Control works with AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control ) using a yaw motion sensor to monitor the motions of the truck to detect trailer sway. When sway is detected, the system works to apply selected brakes and/or reduce engine power to help the driver regain control (8) Dual-rear-wheel (DRW) models are not equipped with AdvanceTrac, but operate with a similar yaw motion sensor to detect and control trailer sway and apply brake pressure selectively to the front brakes or reduce engine power to help the driver maintain control Integrated Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) (9) Uses braking input, vehicle speed and ABS logic to balance the performance of the truck brakes and electric trailer brakes User-friendly productivity screen in instrument cluster message center indicates TBC (10) output, gain levels and trailer connection status Tow/Haul Mode With Integrated Exhaust Brake (11) Tow/Haul Mode and Tow/Haul Mode with integrated engine brake (6.7L diesel only) give drivers even greater control when traveling downhill Helps eliminate unwanted frequency of gear shifting on steep uphill grades and allow engine braking to maintain or reduce vehicle speed and assist the driver in controlling the vehicle when descending a steep grade Provides additional braking and control on downhill grades when used in combination with the engine brake feature on the 6.7L V8 turbo diesel engine When the engine braking switch is selected, the engine brake adjusts the vanes on the exhaust side of the turbocharger to generate engine backpressure Extra braking power requires less manual brake application from the driver, especially on downhill grades Using the engine brake to slow the vehicle, rather than applying the brakes, helps reduce brake fade and brake lining wear Standard Hill Start Assist Helps prevent rolling back on a grade by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill Whether heading up an incline in drive or in reverse, you re covered 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package Available on all models Provides the necessary under-the-bed hardware to allow mounting of a 5th-wheel/gooseneck hitch in the pickup bed to put more of the trailer weight over the tow vehicle 2015 RV & Trailer Towing Guide Chassis Cabs Hard-line capability.

11 Individual vehicles have different restrictions and towing procedures. Contact your dealer for complete details. For safe operation, towed vehicles (or dollies or trailers carrying them) should be equipped with a separate functional brake system. Towing: four wheels down. Many motorhome owners prefer the practicality of having another vehicle along when they travel. In fact, towing another vehicle behind the motorhome has become more and more popular in recent years. Furthermore, many of those who want to tow another vehicle prefer one that can be easily towed without a dolly or trailer. The car and truck models shown in the chart at right can be towed with all four wheels down. For safe operation, towed vehicles (or dollies or trailers carrying them) should be equipped with a separate functional brake system. See page 25 and back cover for additional brake information. Note: Some aftermarket camper centers offer kits which may allow vehicles with automatic transmissions to be flat-towed.

Tow-dolly flexibility. Tow-dollies allow you to tow your vehicle behind a RV or motorhome if you are unable to four-wheel-down your car, truck or suv. Tow-dollies work by letting the front two wheels of the vehicle rest on it while the back two wheels stay on the ground. They are not as long as the traditional trailers, which makes turning corners much easier. Before using the tow-dolly there are a few things you must know before towing. Read the manufacturer s instructions that came with the tow-dolly before towing, loading or unloading the dolly. Attach the appropriate trailer hitch and drawbar hardware to the vehicle for the tow-dolly. Attach the dolly to the drawbar. The dolly should be completely secure and on level ground before the vehicle to be towed is put on or taken off the dolly. Drive the vehicle onto the dolly with its front wheels. Secure the vehicle to the tow-dolly according to the manufacturer s instructions. Follow the instructions for attaching and connecting the auxiliary lights to the back of the vehicle being towed. Test the auxiliary lights to make sure that the turn signals, stop lamps, and running lights work properly. 12 revised
