Recognized for their best-in-class payload of up to 3,270 pounds and towing of 13,200 pounds for their F-150 series and providing unbelievable towing efficiency and capability with their F-Series Super Duty, the towing features offered deserve a closer look. Here are just a few of our favorites.
Trailer Sway Control
The AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC) system allows the Trailer Sway Control to detect and reduce trailer sway while expanding the dynamic stability control capabilities of the vehicle to add an extra layer of control and assurance when towing a trailer.
Super Duty Smart Technology includes added software to track the performance of a vehicle while towing and measure the vehicle’s yaw motion to identify the sway of the trailer and respond by eliminating the condition of the sway.
Tow/Haul Mode
Tow or Haul Mode reduces hunting for gears while improving the power of delivery, especially when towing or hauling a more significant load.
When selecting the 6.7-liter V-8 turbo diesel engine with the Ford Super Duty pickup, you can add the integrated engine-exhaust brake option to provide greater control when going downhill. It also helps with eliminating how often shifting gears is required when traveling uphill on steep grades.

Trailer Brake Controller
Experience more effective and smooth trailer braking by ensuring your trailer’s brakes have an output proportional to your truck’s brake pressure thanks to the Trailer Brake Controller adapting the output based on the Anti-lock Brake Systems status.

It will also alert you both visually and audibly of an accidental trailer disconnect.
