pull the most – confidently.

Ford F-Series Super Duty is the only truck in its class offering you up to 31,200 lbs. max. towing capability.

To help you handle all that weight, Super Duty utilizes trailer sway control. The system monitors the motions of the truck to detect trailer sway and selectively brakes as needed, the truck and the trailer.

When negotiating an incline, whether in Drive or Reverse, standard hill start assist helps you out by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck uphill.

Less manual braking is required of drivers on diesel models for 2015 thanks to improvements in engine braking performance. The diesel’s new larger turbocharger provides more engine-exhaust braking power for improved grade descent control with less wear and tear on the wheel brakes and transmission. Engine-exhaust braking includes a new manual push-button control on the instrument panel this year as well. Like all the best leaders, Super Duty just keeps on improving.
