SVT

The Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was
established in 1991 to polish the Ford Oval
by creating low-volume, factory-produced
vehicles designed for people whose idea
of driving is a high-powered, passionate
experience - not just a means of getting
from A to B.

To support such spirited enthusiasm, we
carefully integrated the wide array of talent
in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and
product planners and located them under
one roof with a common mission to create
vehicles specifically designed to meet the
unique needs and desires of the driving
enthusiast.

We produced more than 250,000 SVT
vehicles since 1993 model year including
the SVT Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R,
the SVT F-150 Lightning, the SVT Contour,
the SVT Focus, Ford GT, Shelby GT500,
GT500KR and the F-150 SVT Raptor.

FORD PERFORMANCE

The Special Vehicle Team (SVT) and
Team RS officially began working together
as one team in 2009. In 2015, we
combined them with Ford Racing to
establish Ford Performance as one team
responsible for all performance and racing
oriented products and activities worldwide
at Ford Motor Company.

We have designed and developed your
vehicle as a product of the four hallmarks
of Ford Performance:

• Performance.

• Substance.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNINGS

Always fully apply the parking brake
and make sure you shift into park (P).
Switch the ignition off and remove

the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.

Applying both pedals simultaneously
for more than a few seconds will limit
engine performance, which may result in
difficulty maintaining speed in traffic and
could lead to serious injury.

Understanding your SelectShift™
Automatic Transmission (If Equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
automatic transmission gearshift lever and
steering wheel mounted shifter paddles.
The buttons on the gearshift lever and the
shifter paddles serve the same functions.
The SelectShift Automatic transmission
gives you the ability to change gears up or
down (without a clutch) as desired.

In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift still automatically makes
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time.
Although SelectShift will make some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as the
SelectShift determines that damage will
not be caused to the engine from
over-revving.

SelectShift will not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. It must be shifted manually by
pressing the + button or paddle.

Note: Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.

The SelectShift Automatic transmission
feature has two modes: PRS and M mode.

Manual (M)

Moving the gearshift lever to the manual
(M) position allows you to manually select
the gear you desire. Only the current gear
will display. Use the buttons on the
gearshift lever or steering wheel to
manually select gears. Press the + button
or paddle to upshift or the – button or
paddle to downshift. Return the
transmission to a different gearshift
position to deactivate manual control.

Progressive Range Selection

Progressive Range Selection gives you the
ability to lockout gears from the automatic
shifting range. This may provide you with
an improved driving experience (for
example, in slippery conditions or when
experiencing a steep grade).

With the transmission in drive (D), press
the – button or paddle to active PRS. The
available and selected gears are indicated
on the instrument cluster.

All available gears display with the current
gear indicated. Press the – button or
paddle again to lock out gears beginning
with the highest gear. For example, press
the – button or paddle twice to lock out
10th and 9th gears. Only the available
gears display and the transmission
automatically shifts between the available
gears. Press the + button or paddle to
unlock gears to allow the transmission to
shift to higher gears. The transmission
shifts automatically within the gear range
you select.

USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Note: For important information regarding

the safe operation of this type of vehicle,
see General Information in the Wheels and
Tires chapter.

Note: Do not use 4H or 4L mode on dry,
hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and may
damage drive components. 4H or 4L mode
is only intended for consistently slippery or
loose surfaces. Use of 4L mode on these
surfaces may produce some noise (such as
occasional clunks), but will not damage
drive components.

Note: If 4L is selected while your vehicle is
moving above 3 mph (5 km/h), the 4WD
system will not perform a shift. This is
normal and should be no reason for concern.
Refer to Shifting to or from 4L (4X4 Low)
for proper operation.

Note: You can switch on and switch off the
electronic locking differential by pressing
the center of the 4WD control. See
Electronic Locking Differential (page 18).

4WD Indicator Lights

Note: When a 4X4 system fault is present,

the system will typically remain in whichever
4X4 mode was selected prior to the fault
condition occurring. It will not default to 4X2
in all circumstances. When this warning is
displayed, have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized dealer.

CHECK 4X4

Displays when a 4X4 system
fault is present.

Using the 2-Speed Automatic 4WD
System With Mechanical Lock

This system provides similar 4A
capabilities as other 2-speed torque on
demand (TOD) systems but with
mechanically locking 4H and 4L settings.
In 4A mode, the system is interactive with
the road, continually monitoring and
adjusting power delivery to the front and
rear wheels to optimize traction based on
terrain mode selection. See Principle of

Operation (page 20).
Note: The AdvanceTrac system has the

ability to take over control of the transfer
case clutch in 4A mode and disable it during
driving maneuvers when necessary.

Note: 4WD mode availability is based on
terrain mode selection. See Principle of
Operation (page 20).

Note: The information display may show
messages during 4WD operation. See
Information Messages (page 7).

Four-Wheel Drive

E225301

2H (4X2)

For general on-road driving, this mode
provides optimal smoothness and fuel
economy at high speeds. Sends power to
the rear wheels only.

Note: 2H may engage or disengage
automatically based on terrain mode
selection. See Principle of Operation
(page 20).

4A (4X4 AUTO)

Provides electronic controlled four-wheel
drive with power delivered to the front and
rear wheels, as required, for increased
traction. The system continuously monitors
road conditions, driver's input as well as
other vehicle sensors and optimizes the
system's behavior based on terrain mode
selection.

Note: 4A may engage or disengage
automatically based on terrain mode
selection. See Principle of Operation
(page 20).

4H (4X4 HIGH)

Provides mechanically locked four-wheel
drive power to both the front and rear
wheels for use in off-road or winter
conditions such as deep snow, sand or
mud. This mode is not for use on dry
pavement.

Note: 4H may engage or disengage
automatically based on terrain mode
selection. See Principle of Operation
(page 20).

4L (4X4 LOW)

Provides mechanically locked four-wheel
drive power to both the front and rear
wheels with additional gearing for
increased torque multiplication. Intended
only for off-road applications such as deep
sand, steep grades, or pulling heavy
objects. 4L (4X4 low) will not engage while
your vehicle is moving above 3 mph
(5 km/h); this is normal and should be no
reason for concern. Refer to Shifting to or
from 4L (4X4 low) for proper operation.

Note: 4L may engage or disengage
automatically based on terrain mode
selection. See Principle of Operation
(page 20).

Shifting between 4WD system modes

Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator

pedal while a shift in progress message
displays will improve engagement or
disengagement performance.

Note: Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping or when applying
the accelerator pedal.

Note: You may hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages; this is normal.

You can move the control from 2H to 4A
or 4H at a stop or while driving. The
information display may display a message
indicating a 4X4 shift is in progress and the
LED light for the selected mode flashes.
Once the shift is complete the information
display shows the system mode selected
and the LED light for the selected mode
turns solid.

Shifting to or from 4L (4X4 low)

Note: You may hear some noise as the

system shifts or engages; this is normal.

12

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Four-Wheel Drive

1. Bring your vehicle to a speed of 3 mph

(5 km/h) or less.

2. Place the transmission in neutral (N).

3. Move the 4WD control to the desired

position.

The information display will display a
message indicating a 4X4 shift is in
progress. The information display will then
display the system mode selected. If any
of the above shift conditions are not
present, the shift will not occur and the
information display will display information
guiding the driver through the proper
shifting procedures. If the above conditions
are not satisfied in 30 seconds, the system
reverts back to the previous 4WD mode or
terrain mode.

If Shift Delayed Pull Forward displays in
the information display, a transfer case
gear tooth blockage is present. To alleviate
this condition, place the transmission in a
forward gear, move your vehicle forward
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m), and shift the
transmission back to neutral (N) to allow
the transfer case to complete the range
shift.

How Your Vehicle Differs From
Other Vehicles

WARNING

Vehicles with a higher center of

gravity (utility and four-wheel drive

vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death.

Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle may be
higher to allow it to travel over rough
terrain without getting hung up or
damaging underbody components.

The differences that make your vehicle so
versatile also make it handle differently
than an ordinary passenger car.

Maintain steering wheel control at all
times, especially in rough terrain. Since
sudden changes in terrain can result in
abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure
you grip the steering wheel from the
outside. Do not grip the spokes.

Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage
from concealed objects such as rocks and
stumps.

You should either know the terrain or
examine maps of the area before driving.
Map out your route before driving in the
area. To maintain steering and braking
control of your vehicle, you must have all
four wheels on the ground and they must
be rolling, not sliding or spinning.

Driving Off-Road With Truck and
Utility Vehicles

Note: On some models, the initial shift from

two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive while
your vehicle is moving can cause some
momentary clunk and ratcheting sounds.
This is the front drivetrain coming up to
speed and the automatic locking hubs
engaging and is not cause for concern.

Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator
pedal while a shift in progress message
displays will improve engagement or
disengagement performance.

Four-wheel drive vehicles are specially
equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud
and rough terrain and have operating
characteristics that are somewhat
different from conventional vehicles, both
on and off the road.

13

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Four-Wheel Drive

The transfer case supplies power to all four
wheels. On four-wheel drive vehicles, the
transfer case allows you to select different
4WD modes when necessary. You can find
information on transfer case operation and
shifting procedures in this chapter. You can
find information on transfer case
maintenance in the Maintenance chapter.
You should become thoroughly familiar
with this information before you operate
your vehicle.

Four-wheel drive (when you select a 4WD
mode) uses all four wheels to power your
vehicle. This increases traction, enabling
you to drive over terrain and road
conditions that a conventional two-wheel
drive vehicle cannot.

Basic Operating Principles

• Drive slower in strong crosswinds which
can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle.

• When driving your vehicle on surfaces
made slippery by loose sand, water,
gravel, snow or ice proceed with care.

• Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so will produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and
may damage drive components. 4H or
4L modes are only for consistently
slippery or loose surfaces.

If Your Vehicle leaves the Road

If your vehicle leaves the road, reduce your
vehicle speed and avoid severe braking.
When your vehicle speed decreases, ease
your vehicle back onto the road. Do not
turn the steering wheel sharply while
returning your vehicle to the road.

It may be safer to stay on the shoulder of
the road and slow down gradually before
returning to the road. You may lose control
if you do not slow down or if you turn the
steering wheel too sharply or abruptly.

It may be less risky to strike small objects,
such as freeway reflectors, with minor
damage to your vehicle rather than
attempt a sudden return to the road which
could cause your vehicle to slide sideways
out of control or roll over. Remember, your
safety and the safety of others should be
your primary concern.

Emergency Maneuvers

In an unavoidable emergency situation
where a sudden sharp turn must be made,
remember to avoid over-driving your
vehicle (i.e. turn the steering wheel only as
rapidly and as far as required to avoid the
emergency). Excessive steering can result
in loss of vehicle control. Apply smooth
pressure to the accelerator pedal or brake
pedal when changes in vehicle speed are
required. Avoid abrupt steering,
acceleration and braking. This could result
in an increased risk of vehicle roll over, loss
of vehicle control and personal injury. Use
all available road surface to bring your
vehicle to a safe direction of travel.

In the event of an emergency stop, avoid
skidding the tires and do not attempt any
sharp steering wheel movements.

If your vehicle goes from one type of
surface to another (i.e. from concrete to
gravel) there will be a change in the way
your vehicle responds to a maneuver (i.e.
steering, acceleration or braking).

Sand

When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail.
Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shift
to a lower gear and drive steadily through
the terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly
and avoid excessive wheel slip.

When driving at slow speeds in deep sand
under high outside temperatures, use a low
gear when possible. Low gear operation
will maximize the engine and transmission
cooling capability.

14

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Four-Wheel Drive

Avoid driving at excessive speeds, this
causes vehicle momentum to work against
you and your vehicle could become stuck
to the point that assistance may be
required from another vehicle. Remember,
you may be able to back out the way you
came if you proceed with caution.

Mud and Water

Mud

Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle
speed or direction when you are driving in
mud. Even four-wheel drive vehicles can
lose traction in slick mud. If your vehicle
does slide, steer in the direction of the slide
until you regain control of your vehicle.

After driving through mud, clean off residue
stuck to rotating driveshafts and tires.
Excess mud stuck on tires and rotating
driveshafts can cause an imbalance that
could damage drive components.

Water

If you must drive through high water, drive
slowly. Traction or brake capability may
be limited.

When driving through water, determine the
depth to make sure your vehicle can safely
travel through it. See Off-Road Driving
(page 29). If the ignition system gets wet,
your vehicle may stall.

Once through water, always try the brakes.
Wet brakes do not stop your vehicle as
effectively as dry brakes. Drying improves
by applying light pressure to the brake
pedal while moving slowly.

Note: Driving through deep water may
damage the transmission. If the front or rear
axle is submerged in water, the axle
lubricant and power transfer unit lubricant
should be checked and changed if
necessary.

Driving on Hilly or Sloping Terrain

Although natural obstacles may make it
necessary to travel diagonally up or down
a hill or steep incline, you should always
try to drive straight up or straight down.

Note: Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.
A danger lies in losing traction, slipping
sideways and possible vehicle roll over.
Whenever driving on a hill, determine
beforehand the route you will use. Do not
drive over the crest of a hill without seeing
what conditions are on the other side. Do
not drive in reverse over a hill without the
aid of an observer.

When climbing a steep slope or hill, start
in a lower gear rather than downshifting to
a lower gear from a higher gear once the
ascent has started. This reduces strain on
the engine and the possibility of stalling.

If your vehicle stalls, do not try to turn
around because this could cause vehicle
roll over. It is better to reverse back to a
safe location.

Apply just enough power to the wheels to
climb the hill. Too much power will cause
the tires to slip, spin or lose traction,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.

E143949

15

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Four-Wheel Drive

Descend a hill in the same gear you would
use to climb up the hill to avoid excessive
brake application and brake overheating.
Do not descend in neutral. Disengage
overdrive or move the transmission
selector lever to a lower gear. When
descending a steep hill, avoid sudden hard
braking as you could lose control. The front
wheels have to be turning in order to steer
your vehicle.

If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, apply
the brakes steadily. Do not pump the
brakes.

Driving on Snow and Ice

WARNING

If you are driving in slippery
conditions that require tire chains or

cables, then it is critical that you drive
cautiously. Keep speeds down, allow for
longer stopping distances and avoid
aggressive steering to reduce the chances
of a loss of vehicle control which can lead
to serious injury or death. If the rear end of
your vehicle slides while cornering, steer in
the direction of the slide until you regain
control of your vehicle.

Note: Excessive tire slippage can cause
transmission damage.

Four-wheel drive vehicles have advantages
over two-wheel drive vehicles in snow and
ice but can skid like any other vehicle.
Should you start to slide while driving on
snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel
in the direction of the slide until you regain
control.

Avoid sudden applications of power and
quick changes of direction on snow and
ice. Apply the accelerator slowly and
steadily when starting from a full stop.

Avoid sudden braking. Although a
four-wheel drive vehicle may accelerate
better than a two-wheel drive vehicle in
snow and ice, it will not stop any faster as
braking occurs at all four wheels. Do not
become overconfident as to road
conditions.

Make sure you allow sufficient distance
between you and other vehicles for
stopping. Drive slower than usual and
consider using one of the lower gears. In
emergency stopping situations, apply the
brake steadily. Do not pump the brake
pedal.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or
Snow

WARNING

Do not spin the wheels at over
34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may fail
and injure a passenger or bystander.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
you may rock it out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature,
damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute, damage to the transmission
and tires may occur or the engine may
overheat.

Parking

WARNINGS

If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains

illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

Always apply the parking brake fully
and make sure you shift into park (P).
Switch the ignition off and remove

the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

On some four-wheel drive vehicles, when
the transfer case is in the neutral (N)
position, the engine and transmission
disconnect from the rest of the driveline.
Therefore, your vehicle is free to roll even
if the automatic transmission is in park (P)
or the manual transmission is in gear. Do
not leave your vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the neutral (N) position.
Always set the parking brake fully and turn
off the ignition when leaving your vehicle.

Maintenance and Modifications

The suspension and steering systems on
your vehicle have been designed and
tested to provide predictable performance
whether loaded or empty. For this reason,
we strongly recommend that you do not
make modifications such as adding or
removing parts (for example, lift kits or
stabilizer bars) or by using replacement
parts not equivalent to the original factory
equipment.

We recommend that you use caution when
your vehicle has either a high load or device
(such as ladders or luggage racks). Any
modifications to your vehicle that raise the
center of gravity may cause your vehicle
to roll over when there is a loss of vehicle
control.

Failure to maintain your vehicle correctly
may void the warranty, increase your repair
cost, reduce vehicle performance and
operational capabilities and adversely
affect you and your passenger's safety. We
recommend you frequently inspect your
vehicle's chassis components when your
vehicle is subject to off road usage.

ELECTRONIC LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL

Note: The electronic locking differential is

for off-road use only and is not for use on
dry pavement. Using the electronic locking
differential on dry pavement will result in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration.

The electronic locking differential is a
device housed in the rear axle that allows
both rear wheels to turn at the same
speed. The electronic locking differential
can provide additional traction should your
vehicle become stuck. You can activate

the differential electronically and shift it
on the fly within the operating speed range.
The electronic differential will
automatically disengage when the vehicle
speed exceeds a set value and it will
automatically reengage when the vehicle
speed goes below a set value (see table
below). It will also automatically engage
based on certain selected drive modes.
See Principle of Operation (page 20).
The electronic locking differential is for use
in mud, rocks, sand, or any off-road
condition where you need maximum
traction. It is not for use on dry pavement.

When you switch the system on, if you do
not meet the required conditions for
electronic locking differential activation,
the instrument cluster will display the
appropriate information guiding you
through the proper activation process.

Activating the Electronic Locking
Differential

Note: Do not use the electronic locking

differential on dry, hard surfaced roads.
Doing so will produce excessive noise,
vibration and increase tire wear.

Note: If the electronic locking differential
has difficulty disengaging, release the
accelerator pedal and turn the steering
wheel in the opposite direction while rolling.

E225301

Push the center of the 4WD select knob to
manually activate and de-activate the
electronic locking differential. An LED on
the knob will illuminate to indicate the
system is activated.

Note: The LED may illuminate
automatically based on terrain mode
selection.

Once the indicator light
illuminates in the information
display, both rear wheels will be

locked together providing added traction.

If the indicator does not come on, or the
indicator turns off while driving, one of the
following has occurred:

• The vehicle speed is too high.

• The vehicle is experiencing an anti-lock

brake activation.

• The left and right rear wheel speed
difference is too high during an
engagement attempt.

• The system has malfunctioned and is
accompanied by CHECK LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL in the information
display. See your authorized Ford
dealer for assistance.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The Terrain Management System delivers
a driving experience through a suite of
sophisticated electronic vehicle systems.
These systems optimize steering, handling
and powertrain response. This provides a
single location to control multiple systems
performance settings.

Changing the drive mode automatically
changes the functionality of the following
systems:

• Electronically power-assisted steering
system adjusts steering effort and feel
based on the mode you select.

• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintains your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.

• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your inputs.

• Transmission controls are optimized
with shift schedules tuned to each
terrain.

• Transfer case; automatically engages
specific 4WD modes and raises or
lowers torque output depending on
selected terrain mode. (See Terrain
Mode availability table below).

• Electronic Locking Differential; engages
automatically during certain terrain
modes.

Note: Do not use electronic locking
differential on dry, hard surfaced roads.
Doing so will produce excessive noise,
vibration and increase tire wear. See
Electronic Locking Differential (page 18).

Using the Terrain Management
System

The Terrain Management System
automatically tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.

E232133

To change the drive mode setting, press
the drive mode button on the steering
wheel.

Note: Mode changes are not available when
the vehicle ignition is off.

On-Road Modes

E225310

Normal Mode - For everyday
driving. Normal mode is a perfect
balance of excitement, comfort

and convenience.

Sport Mode - For aggressive
on-road driving. Sport mode

increases throttle response,
provides a sportier steering feel, along with
quicker shifting. The transmission also
holds gears longer, helping your vehicle
accelerate faster when shifting gears.

E225312

Weather Mode - For less than

ideal road conditions, such as

snow or ice covered roads.
Weather mode inspires confidence without
taking away from driving pleasure. Weather
mode automatically engages 4x4 Auto,
lowers throttle response and optimizes
shifting for slippery surfaces.

RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS

WARNINGS

Do not exceed the lowest

rating capacity for your
vehicle or trailer hitch. Overloading
your vehicle or trailer hitch can
impair your vehicle stability and
handling. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

Do not cut, drill, weld or

modify the trailer hitch.
Modifying the trailer hitch could
reduce the hitch rating.

The standard integrated hitch has
two ratings depending on mode
of operation:

• Weight-carrying mode requires
a draw bar and hitch ball. The
draw bar supports all the
vertical tongue load of the
trailer.

• Weight-distributing mode
requires an aftermarket
weight-distributing system,
which includes draw bar, hitch
ball, spring bars and snap-up
brackets. This system
distributes the vertical tongue
load of the trailer between the
truck and the trailer.

Weight-distributing Hitch

WARNING

Do not adjust the spring bars

so that your vehicle's rear
bumper is higher than before
attaching the trailer. Doing so will
defeat the function of the
weight-distributing hitch, which
may cause unpredictable
handling, and could result in
serious personal injury.

Note: A weight-distributing hitch
is required to tow over 5,000 lb
(2,267.9 kg) maximum trailer
weight or 500 lb (226.7 kg) tongue
weight due to your vehicle's high
travel suspension tuning.

Follow these steps to setup a
weight-distributing hitch that
helps maintain the proper angle
of your tow vehicle and trailer for
better combination control.

1. Park the loaded vehicle,

without the trailer, on a level
surface.

2. Measure the height to the top

of your vehicle's front wheel
opening on the fender. This is
H1.

3. Attach the loaded trailer to

your vehicle without the
weight-distributing bars
connected.

4. Measure the height to the top

of your vehicle's front wheel
opening on the fender a second
time. This is H2.

5. Install and adjust the tension
in the weight-distributing bars
so that the height of your
vehicle's front wheel opening
on the fender is approximately
half the way down from H2,
toward H1.

6. Check that the trailer is level or
slightly nose down toward your
vehicle. If not, adjust the ball
height accordingly and repeat
Steps 2-6.

When the trailer is level or slightly
nose down toward the vehicle:

• Lock the bar tension adjuster
in place.

• Check that the trailer tongue
securely attaches and locks
onto the hitch.

• Install safety chains, lighting,
and trailer brake controls as
required by law or the trailer
manufacturer.

Refer to the Towing chapter in
your Owner's Manual for
additional towing information
such as suggested towing
pre-checks, calculating max trailer
weight for your vehicle, load
placement guidance, trailer
electrical connector information,
using safety chains, sway control
function, trailer brakes, and using
the integrated trailer brake
controller.

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS

WARNING

If your vehicle has a steering wheel
lock make sure the ignition is in the
accessory or on position when being

towed.

Emergency Towing

If your vehicle becomes inoperable
(without access to wheel dollies,
car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport
vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels
on the ground, regardless of the powertrain
and transmission configuration) under the
following conditions:

• Your vehicle is facing forward for
towing in a forward direction.

• Place the transmission in position N. If
you cannot move the transmission into
N, you may need to override it.

• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).

• Maximum distance is 50 mi (80 km).

Recreational Towing

Note: Put your climate control system in

recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle.

Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing, such as towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. We
designed these guidelines to prevent
damage to your transmission.

Your Ford Performance vehicle can be put
in neutral tow (Recreational Towing Mode)
by placing the transfer case in its neutral
position and engaging the
four-wheel-down towing feature. Perform
the steps outlined in the following section
after positioning your vehicle behind the
tow vehicle and properly securing them
together.

Note: Make sure you properly secure your
vehicle to the tow vehicle.

1. Put the ignition in the on position, but
do not start the engine. If your vehicle
has an ignition key, turn the key to on.
If your vehicle has intelligent access,
press the engine START/STOP button
once without pressing the brake pedal.

2. Press and hold the brake pedal.

3. Rotate the four-wheel drive switch to
2H.

4. Shift the transmission to position N.

5. Enable Neutral Tow through the
information display by selecting
Settings from the cluster menu.

6. Then select Advanced Settings.

7. Then select Vehicle.

8. Then select Neutral Tow.

Note: If completed successfully, the
information display shows NEUTRAL TOW

LEAVE IN N or NEUTRAL TOW ENABLED
LEAVE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL.

This indicates that your vehicle is safe to
tow with all wheels on the ground.

Note: If you do not see the message in the
display, you must perform the procedure
again from the beginning.

Note: You may hear an audible noise as the
transfer case shifts into its neutral position.
This is normal.

9. Leave the transmission in position N
and turn the ignition as far as it will go
toward the off position (it will not turn
fully off when the transmission is in
position N). If your vehicle has an
ignition key, you must leave the key in
the ignition while towing. To lock and
unlock your vehicle, use the keyless
entry keypad or extra set of keys. If your

27

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Towing

vehicle has intelligent access, press the
engine START/STOP button once
without pressing the brake pedal. You
do not need to leave your keys in the
vehicle. You can lock and unlock your
vehicle as you normally do.

10. Release the brake pedal.

WARNINGS

Do not disconnect the battery during
recreational towing. It prevents the

transfer case from shifting properly
and may cause the vehicle to roll, even if
the transmission is in park (P).

Shifting the transfer case to its

neutral position for recreational

towing may cause the vehicle to roll,
even if the transmission is in park (P). It
may injure the driver and others. Make sure
you press the foot brake and the vehicle is
in a secure, safe position when you shift to
neutral (N).

Note: Failing to put the transfer case in its
neutral position will damage vehicle
components.

Note: You can check four-wheel-down
towing status at any time by opening the
driver's door or turning the ignition to the
accessory or on position and verifying the
NEUTRAL TOW ENABLED message
displays in the cluster.

To exit four-wheel-down towing and return
the transfer case to its 2H position:

1. With your vehicle still properly secured

to the tow vehicle, put the ignition in
the on position, but do not start the
engine. If your vehicle has an ignition
key, turn the key to on. If your vehicle
has intelligent access, press the engine
START/STOP button once without
pressing the brake pedal.

2. Press and hold the brake pedal.

3. Shift the transmission out of N and into

any gear.

4. Release the brake pedal.

Note: If completed successfully, the
instrument cluster displays 4X2, and
NEUTRAL TOW DISABLED.

Note: If the indicator light and message do
not display, you must perform the procedure
again from the beginning.

Note: You may hear an audible noise as the
transfer case shifts out of its neutral
position. This is normal.

Note: If SHIFT DELAY PULL FORWARD
displays in the instrument cluster, transfer
case gear tooth blockage is present. See the
instructions after this section.

5. Apply the parking brake, and then
disconnect the vehicle from the tow
vehicle.

6. Release the parking brake, start the
engine, and shift the transmission to
position D to make sure the transfer
case is out of position N.

7. If the transfer case does not
successfully shift out of position N, set
the parking brake until you can have
your vehicle serviced.

Resolving the SHIFT DELAY PULL
FORWARD Message

If the instrument cluster displays SHIFT
DELAY PULL FORWARD perform the

following:

1. Press and hold the brake pedal.

2. Put the transmission into position N,
and then start the engine.

3. With the engine running, shift the
transmission to position D and let the
vehicle roll forward, up to 3 feet (1
meter). You may hear an audible noise
as the transfer case shifts out of its
neutral position. This is normal.

4. Make sure the instrument cluster
displays NEUTRAL TOW DISABLED.

OFF-ROAD DRIVING

In addition to providing an excellent
on-road driving experience, your vehicle
excels at all types of off-road driving. The
truck has been designed and equipped to
allow you to explore those places where
the road doesn’t take you whether it’s a
forest trail or the open desert. Before going
off-roading, consult with your local
governmental agencies to determine
designated off-road trails and recreation
areas. Also, be sure to understand any
off-road vehicle registration requirements
for the area in which you plan on driving.

Tread Lightly is an educational program
designed to increase public awareness of
land-use regulations and responsibilities
in our nation’s wilderness areas. Ford joins
the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land
Management in encouraging you to help
preserve our national forest and other
public and private lands by treading lightly.

Before taking your vehicle off-roading, a
basic vehicle inspection should be done to
make sure that the vehicle is in top working
condition.

It is always recommended that at least
two vehicles are used while off-roading.
The buddy system helps make sure that
help is close at hand should a vehicle
become stuck or damaged. It is also wise
to take supplies such as a first aid kit,
supply of water, tow strap, cell or satellite
phone with you any time an off-road
excursion is planned.

Remove the front license plate before
off-roading to achieve optimal
performance.

Basic Off-road Driving Techniques

• Grip the steering wheel with thumbs
on the outside of the rim. This will
reduce the risk of injury due to abrupt
steering wheel motions that occur
when negotiating rough terrain. Do not
grip the steering wheel with thumbs
inside the rim.

• Throttle, brake and steering inputs
should be made in a smooth and
controlled manner. Sudden inputs to
the controls can cause loss of traction
or upset the vehicle, especially while
on sloped terrain or while crossing
obstacles such as rocks or logs.

• Look ahead on your route noting
upcoming obstacles, surface texture
or color changes or any other factors
which may indicate a change in
available traction, and adjust the
vehicle speed and route accordingly.
During pre-run, mark obstacles with
GPS markers to make sure appropriate
speeds are used to avoid potential
vehicle damage.

• When driving off-road, if the front or
rear suspension is bottoming-out
and/or excessive contact with the
skid-plates is encountered, reduce
vehicle speed to avoid potential
damage to the vehicle.

• When running with other vehicles, it is
recommended that communication is
used, and the lead vehicle notify other
vehicles of obstacles that could cause
potential vehicle damage.

• Always keep available ground
clearance in mind and pick a route that
minimizes the risk of catching the
underside of the vehicle on an obstacle.

29

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Driving Hints

• When negotiating low speed obstacles,
applying light brake pressure in
conjunction with the throttle will help
prevent the vehicle from jerking and
will allow you to negotiate the obstacle
in a more controlled manner. Using 4L
will also help with this.

• Use and equip supplemental safety
equipment as discussed later in this
chapter.

• Please consult your local off-road
group for other helpful tips.

• Off-roading requires a high degree of
concentration. Even if your local law
does not prohibit alcohol use while
driving off-road, Ford strongly
recommends against drinking if you
plan to off-road.

Crossing Obstacles

• Review the path ahead before
attempting to cross any obstacle. It is
best if the obstacle is reviewed from
outside the vehicle so that there is a
good understanding of terrain condition
both in front of and behind the
obstacle.

• Approach obstacles slowly and slowly
inch the vehicle over.

• If a large obstacle such as a rock
cannot be avoided, choose a path that
places the rock directly under the tire
rather than the undercarriage of the
vehicle. This will help prevent damage
to the vehicle.

• Ditches and washouts should be
crossed at a 45 degree angle, allowing
each wheel to independently cross the
obstacle.

Hill Climbing

WARNING

Extreme care should be used when
steering the vehicle in reverse down
a slope so as not to cause the vehicle

to swerve out of control.

• Always attempt to climb a steep hill
along the fall line of the slope and not
diagonally.

• If the vehicle is unable to make it up
the hill, DO NOT attempt to turn back
down the slope. Place the vehicle in
low range and slowly back down in
reverse.

• When descending a steep slope, select
low gear and engage hill descent
control. Use the throttle and brake
pedals to control your descent speed
as described earlier in this section using
hill descent control. Note that hill
descent control is functional in reverse
and should be used in this situation.

Water Wading

Your vehicle is designed to operate in water
depths up to 32 inches (810 millimeters).
However, as the water depth increases,
vehicle speed must be reduced to avoid
potential vehicle damage.

• Always determine the depth before
attempting a water crossing.

• Proceed slowly and avoid splashing
water any more than is necessary.

• Be aware that obstacles and debris
may be beneath the water’s surface.

• Keep the doors fully closed during the
water crossing.

• Upon completion of the water crossing,
slowly drive a short distance and check
the brakes for full effectiveness.

30

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Driving Hints

Refer to chart below for the maximum
allowable speeds when driving through
water.

Note: Failure to follow the recommended
speeds may result in vehicle damage.

High Speed Off-Roading

The off-road driving discussed thus far has
focused on the type of events typically
encountered during slow speed off-road
driving conditions. Your vehicle provides
excellent performance in a full size pick-up
truck during these slower speed conditions,
but truly excels at higher speed baja style
off-road driving. High speed off-roading
presents a unique challenge, but extra care
and caution should be taken before
engaging in this type of driving.

If you plan on using the truck for severe,
high speed off-road use, the following is
recommended:

• Equip your truck with the safety
equipment used for the Stock-Full
Class as defined in the rule books for
SCORE International Off-Road Racing
(www.score-international.com).

• Use personal safety equipment
including a SNELL SA certified helmet
and approved neck restraint device.

• Before venturing off-road in unfamiliar
areas at high speeds, do a low speed
reconnaissance run (prerun) to
become aware of any obstacles that
you will encounter.

Ford Performance has engineered your
vehicle for off-road use beyond what is
normal for a F-150. However, it can incur
damage if driven beyond its capabilities.
Skid plates, shock guards and running
boards were designed to help limit damage
to vital components and exterior finishes,
but cannot prevent all damage if driven in
extreme off-road conditions. Damage to
skid plates, shock guards, running boards
and exterior finishes as well as bent,
cracked or broken body, frame and chassis
components may not be covered by
warranty.

It is important that you take the time to
become familiar with the controls and
dynamics of your vehicle before
attempting higher speed off-roading.

31

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Driving Hints

Some points to consider:

• Build up speed slowly. Initially, drive at
a pace which allows ample time to fully
assess the terrain around you and to
understand how the vehicle is
responding to both the terrain and
driver inputs. Increase pace as comfort
increases while always being mindful
of how the vehicle is responding to
various events at different speeds.

• Find a wide open place to experiment
with different functions on the truck.
Try a given maneuver with different
vehicle settings (4H vs. 4L),
(differential locked vs. unlocked),
(AdvanceTrac in key-on vs. single press
vs. press and hold modes) and see how
the truck responds. Start slowly and
build pace as comfort increases.

• Similarly, in a wide open space,
experiment with different driving
techniques. For example, if the vehicle
is tending to push straight ahead when
trying to negotiate a turn
(understeering or plowing), a light
application of the brake while turning
may help rotate the truck. A wider entry
to the corner or entering the corner
more slowly may help the truck turn
and allow you to apply the throttle
sooner after negotiating the turn.

• Remember the phrase "smooth is fast".
This refers to your steering, throttle,
and brake movements. Smooth
decisive movements will yield
improved results while helping to
increase safety.

• As speed increases, it is wise to look
farther ahead of the vehicle so that
there is time to react to oncoming
obstacles. Remember that in many
off-road environments, obstacles will
be hard to see until they are relatively
near. A good strategy is to alternate
between looking far ahead and up
closer to the front of the vehicle as
you’re driving.

• Also remember to drive what you can
see. This refers to not driving faster
than you are able to negotiate
unforeseen upcoming obstacles. This
could refer to obstacles over a brow, in
a ravine, in brush, in dusty conditions,
and in the darkness among others.

• If you are driving in a dusty area, be sure
to leave ample distance between you
and any other vehicles to allow for
adequate vision.

• Always remember that you may not be
the only one in a particular recreational
area, always be cognizant of others in
your area. This is especially true of
motorcycles and ATV’s which may be
more difficult to spot than a full-sized
vehicle.

• If driving in desert conditions, it is
advised that you always drive with your
headlights on to help other drivers
more easily see you.

• While driving in desert conditions, the
midpoint of the day is the most difficult
time to see many of the small ridges
and dips due to flat shadows from the
sun being at its highest point. Extreme
care should be taken at these times to
not inadvertently run into these
obstacles.

• It is highly encouraged that you switch
to off-road mode for off road
operation. Please see the Terrain
Response section of this supplement
for more details.

Driving Hints

After Off-Road Driving

It is important to complete a full vehicle
inspection after off-road driving. Some
items to check include:

• Make sure that tires are inflated to
proper tire pressure as indicated on the
tire placard.

• Check the wheels and undercarriage
for built up mud or debris which can
cause vehicle vibration.

• Make sure that the grille and radiator
are clear of any obstructions that may
affect cooling.

• Make sure that the brakes are in proper
working order and free of any mud,
stones and debris, which can become
trapped around the brake rotor,
backing plate and caliper.

• Check that the air filter is clean and dry.

• Inspect for torn or punctured boots on

ball joints, half shafts, steering gears.

• Inspect exhaust system for damage or
looseness.

• Inspect undercarriage fasteners. If any
are loose or damaged, tighten or
replace ensuring that the proper torque
specification is used.

• Inspect the tires for any cuts in the
tread or sidewall area. Also inspect the
sidewall for any bulge indicating
damage to the tire.

• Inspect the wheels for dents, cracks,
or other damage.

• Refit the front license plate if removed
previously.

Driving Hints

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Note: Do not use front bumper openings as

a step. This could cause damage to your
vehicle.

Do not drive your vehicle through an
automated, commercial car wash due to
the vehicle’s tire width and track. Wash
your vehicle by hand, or by using a
touchless commercial wash with no
mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not use
a commercial or high-pressure wand on
the bed-side graphic surface or graphics
edges.

34

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Vehicle Care

WHEELS

Your vehicle is equipped with unique
wheels matched to the tires. To avoid
damage to your wheels:

• Maintain proper tire pressure. See Tire
Care (page 35).

• Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this
vehicle cannot be taken through an
automatic car wash that uses
mechanical tracks, as wheel damage
may result.

• When installing wheels, always torque
lug nuts to specification with a torque
wrench.

• Inspect your wheels for damage on a
regular basis. If you have a damaged
wheel, replace it immediately.

• In the event that you encounter an
abnormally harsh impact, inspect the
outside tire wall of your wheels, both
inside and out, for damage.

Optional Bead-Lock Compatible
Wheel

Note: Ford Performance only recommends

using bead-lock rings from Ford
Performance Parts, in conjunction with the
OEM tire. Any other combination using this
wheel could result in air loss or tire failure.

Note: Converting the bead-lock compatible
wheel to true bead-locks is for off-road use
only. On road driving is not permitted.

If your vehicle is equipped with the optional
bead lock compatible wheel, you have the
ability to convert this wheel to use a true
bead-lock ring, which allows operation at
low tire pressures when off-road to
minimize risk of de-beading the tire. See
your local Ford Performance Parts Dealer
for more information.

TIRE CARE

WARNINGS

Always re-inflate tires to

recommended tire pressures
before the vehicle is operated
on-road. The recommended
pressure is located on the tire
label or safety certification label,
located on the B-pillar, inside the
driver's door.

After off-road use, before

returning to the road, check
the wheels and tires for damage.
Off-road use may cause damage
to your wheels and tires that can
lead to tire failure, loss of vehicle
control, serious injury or death.

Replace the wheels and tires

with the exact original brand,
size and construction that came
originally on your vehicle. Use of
any other wheel or tire
combinations, even with identical
size ratings, may result in
insufficient running clearances,
tire rubbing and eventual
puncture. Failure to follow tire
replacement recommendations
can lead to tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or
death.

Note: If you have reduced your tire
pressure for off-road use, the tire
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warning light will then
activate in the instrument panel as
a reminder to re-inflate the tires
before returning to the road.

35

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Wheels and Tires

Your vehicle is equipped with high
performance, all-terrain tires
designed to optimize handling,
steering and braking to provide the
performance you expect in a Ford
Performance vehicle. These tires
are optimized for both on and
off-road performance, and their
ride, noise and wear
characteristics are different from
other tires. Also, because of their
aggressive tread profile, it is
important that you maintain your
tires properly.

• Always maintain your tire
pressures according to the tire
information placard located on
the driver’s door B-pillar, using
an accurate gauge. Remember
to be prepared to re-inflate
your tires before returning to
the road. If a tire filling station
is not available, remember to
prepare a supplemental means
to inflate the tires, such as a
portable compressor.

• In cold temperature, check the
tire pressure after the vehicle
has been parked for more than
three hours. Do not reduce
pressure of warm tires.

• Check your tire pressure often
to maintain it properly. Tire
pressure can diminish over time
and fluctuate with
temperature.

• Do not overload your vehicle.
Maximum vehicle and axle
weights are listed on the tire
information placard.

• Extra caution should be taken
when operating the vehicle
near its maximum load,
including assuring proper tire
pressure and reducing speeds.

• In the event that you encounter
an abnormally harsh impact,
inspect your tires for damage.

• Inspect your tires for damage
on a regular basis. Replace a
damaged tire immediately.

• The original equipment tires on
your vehicle are not designed
to be used with snow chains. If
you operate your vehicle with
snow chains, use a smaller tire
and wheel combination as
recommended in your owner's
manual.

• Proper suspension alignment
is critical for maximum
performance and optimal tire
wear. If you notice uneven tire
wear, have your alignment
checked.

Tire Rotation

Because your vehicle’s tires
perform different jobs, they often
wear differently. To make sure
your tires wear evenly and last
longer, have them rotated.

Note: Front tires are shown on the
left side of the diagram.

36

F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Wheels and Tires

E142548

Note: Your vehicle requires tire
rotations every scheduled oil
change, see Servicing Your
Vehicle for more information. If you
notice that the tires wear unevenly,
have them checked.

Note: Uneven tread depth
between the front and rear tires
may lead to degradation in 4WD
engagement and disengagement
performance, additional noise from
the 4WD system or possible
damage.

Spare Tire and Wheel

Your vehicle is equipped with an
LT315/70R17 spare tire. The spare
tire/wheel assembly has the same
capability as the road tire/wheel
assembly, but is not equipped
with a tire pressure monitoring
sensor.

If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grade, this may lead to:

• Component damage which is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.

• Longer engine cranking periods.

• Increased emission levels.

• Reduced engine performance.

• Reduced fuel economy.

• Degraded brake performance.

We recommend Motorcraft motor oil for
your vehicle. If Motorcraft oil is not
available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
API SN requirements and display the API
Certification Mark for gasoline engines. Do
not use oil labeled with API SN service
category unless the label also displays the
API certification mark.

E142732

An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
the International Lubricants Specification
Advisory Committee (ILSAC).

Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that may
not be covered by your vehicle warranty.

Note: Ford recommends using DOT 4 Low
Viscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluid
or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use
of any fluid other than the recommended

AUXILIARY SWITCHES

The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead
console makes aftermarket customization
easier, with six prewired switches attached
to the power distribution box for electrical
accessories.

E220728

These switches are labeled AUX 1, AUX
2, AUX 3, AUX 4,AUX 5 and AUX 6. They

will only operate while the ignition is in the
on position, whether the engine is running
or not. It is, however, recommended that
the engine remain running to maintain a
battery charge when using the switches
for an extended duration or higher current
draws. When switched on by the operator
they provide electrical battery power for a
variety of uses.

The switches control relays and fuses that
are under the hood in the power
distribution box. The Aux switch powered
circuits are found as blunt-cut sealed
wires, located by the power distribution
box.

E229061

There will also be one Aux Switch pass
through circuit for each switch found as a
wire located to the right of the glove box
