TRAILER SWAY CONTROL
WARNING: Turning off trailer sway
control increases the risk of loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.
Ford does not recommend disabling this
feature except in situations where speed
reduction may be detrimental (such as
hill climbing), the driver has significant
trailer towing experience, and can control
trailer sway and maintain safe operation.
Note: This feature does not prevent trailer
sway, but reduces it once it begins.
Note: This feature cannot stop all trailers
from swaying.
Note: In some cases, if vehicle speed is too
high, the system may activate multiple
times, gradually reducing vehicle speed.
This feature applies your vehicle brakes at
individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces
engine power. If the trailer begins to sway,
the stability control light flashes and the
message TRAILER SWAY REDUCE
SPEED appears in the information display.
The first thing to do is slow your vehicle
down, then pull safely to the side of the
road and check for proper tongue load and
trailer load distribution. See Load
Carrying (page 281).
RECOMMENDED TOWING
WEIGHTS
Note: Do not exceed a trailer
weight of 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) when
towing with, or by, the bumper only.
Note: For vehicles equipped with
2.7L and 3.3L engines without a
Heavy Duty Towing Package, do
not exceed a trailer weight of
5,000 lb (2,268 kg) when using the
trailer hitch.
Note: For vehicles equipped with
3.5L and 5.0L engines without a
Heavy Duty Towing Package, do
not exceed a trailer weight of
7,000 lb (3,175 kg) when using the
trailer hitch.
Note: Make sure to take into
consideration trailer frontal area.
Vehicles not equipped with the
Trailer Tow Package or the Heavy
Duty Payload Package should not
exceed 11 ft² (3.4 m²) trailer frontal
area. Vehicles equipped with the
Trailer Tow Package or the Heavy
Duty Payload Package should not
exceed 18 ft² (5.6 m²) trailer
frontal area. All values calculated
with SAE J2807 method.
Note: Exceeding this limitation
may significantly reduce the
performance of your towing
vehicle. Selecting a trailer with a
low aerodynamic drag and rounded
front design helps optimize
performance and fuel economy.
Note: For high altitude operation,
reduce the gross combined weight
by 2% per 1,000 ft (300 m)
starting at the 1,000 ft (300 m)
elevation point.
