Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. Refer to the
severe duty schedule in the scheduled maintenance guide.
Do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least 800 km
(500 miles).
Refer to the instructions included with towing accessories for the
proper installation and adjustment specifications.
To ensure that the electrical system is not damaged, you will require a
trailer tow package which includes a trailer tow module and the
necessary wiring to connect the trailer tow module to the electrical
system and to the trailer. This option is available through your dealer or
through Ford Customer Service Division. Please refer to Preparing to
tow for further information.

Do not exceed the maximum loads listed on the Certification label. For
load specification terms found on the label, refer to Vehicle loading in
this chapter. Remember to figure in the tongue load of your loaded
trailer when figuring the total weight.
Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of control
and personal injury.
Preparing to tow
Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer, and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer
dealer if you require assistance.
