Super Duty® reigns supreme with the best maximum conventional and 5th-wheel towing capabilities in its class,1 plus exclusive features and available systems like trailer sway control to help give you ultimate towing confidence. When you’re negotiating an incline in Drive or in Reverse, standard hill start assist helps prevent the truck from rolling downhill by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move it uphill. With the diesel powertrain, integrated engine-exhaust braking helps improve your grade descent control with less wear and tear on the brakes and transmission. It’s the kind of functionality you’ll really appreciate when you’re hauling a heavy load or towing a trailer, and especially when you’re descending steep grades.

Helps you keep it i n line. Our standard trailer sway contro l2 uses a yaw motion sensor to m onitor the motions of yo ur truck and detect tr ailer sway. It can automatically re act when sway is detec ted by selectively b raking to help you maint ain control of both the truck a nd the trailer. Super Dut y is the only truck in it s class with this sy stem standard on b oth SRW and DRW models.
