  • 2017 RV & TRAILER Towing Guide

  • Make no mistake, 2017 Ford Pickups and Chassis Cabs are the real leaders – pulling the heaviest trailers in their classes. In fact, when properly equipped, the Super Duty® can handle conventional trailers up to 21,000 pounds, 5th-wheel trailers up to 27,500 pounds and gooseneck trailers up to 32,500 pounds.

    Decades of RV and towing experience in every configuration.

    Ford RV and trailer towing products continue to provide a winning combination; high-quality, reliability and high-performance and are backed by decades of RV and towing experience.

    SAE Towing StandardThe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) testing standard J2807 defines procedures and requirements to determine gross combined weight ratings (GCWR) and to calculate the trailer weight rating (TWR) for any tow vehicle. This standard establishes minimum performance conditions to allow for consistent comparisons between similar class vehicles. Ford will apply the SAE standard to all new vehicles. Ford began applying the standard on the 2013 Fusion and Escape models. Other vehicles meeting this standard include Transit Connect and Flex (starting with 2014), Mustang, Transit, F-150, Edge (starting with 2015), Lincoln MKX (starting with 2016), and Super Duty Pickup/Chassis Cab and Continental (starting with 2017).

    OUTSTANDING TOWING CAPABILITY.

    The following vehicles are not recommended for trailer towing: C-MAX Hybrid, C-MAX Energi, Fiesta, Focus, Fusion Hybrid, Fusion Energi, Shelby GT350/GT350R Mustang, Taurus SHO, and MKZ Hybrid.

    Built Ford Tough® is taken to a new level. The 2017 F-150 combines a high-strength steel frame with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body…combining the best of both materials for the toughness only Ford can deliver for outstanding towing and handling. The staggered rear outboard shocks help provide additional driving stability. Exceptional space, power and towing capacity make F-150 the preferred choice for towing and hauling.

    Features include an available integrated trailer brake controller, trailer tow mirrors and 360-degree camera system that provides a view of all four sides of the vehicle. The New BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross traffic alert and trailer tow monitoring alerts the driver if something is in the trailer’s blind spot. The Dynamic Hitch Assist enhancement to the optional rear camera enables easier hitching by helping to line up the truck and trailer without requiring a spotter or having to get out of the vehicle. And the available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ improves driver confidence by letting the driver steer the trailer instinctively as they control the accelerator and brakes, while the truck takes care of the rest.

    POWERFUL ENGINE CHOICES.

    2017 RV & TRAILER Towing Guide4 |

  • 2017 RV & TRAILER Towing Guide | 5 DRIVER ASSIST

    AND SMART TECHNOLOGYTrailer Sway ControlWorks in conjunction with AdvanceTrac® with RSC (Roll Stability Control™) to detect trailer sway and reduce it as necessary

    AdvanceTrac® control module incorporates additional software to monitor the vehicle’s performance while towing

    The added software measures the yaw motion of the vehicle to determine if the trailer is swaying and then responds to eliminate the sway condition(4)

    Trailer Brake Controller (TBC)(5)

    Ensures smooth and effective trailer braking by powering the trailer’s brakes with an output proportional to the towing vehicle’s brake pressure

    The controller adapts output based on the status of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

    When the ABS module senses the towing vehicle’s brakes are approaching lockup, the controller’s trailer braking strategy changes to compensate for traction conditions, reducing the risk of trailer brake lockup

    Provides instant visual and audible warnings in case of accidental trailer disconnect

    Fully integrated into the truck’s brake system

    Manual control lever and +/– (GAIN adjustment) buttons allow the trailer brakes to be manually applied and adjusted for improved performance

    Factory-installed and warranted by Ford Motor Company(6)

    Tow/Haul Mode With Integrated Engine-Exhaust Brake(7) Tow/haul mode and tow/haul mode with integrated engine-exhaust brake (6.7L diesel only) with auto setting give drivers even greater control when traveling downhill

    Helps eliminate unwanted frequency of gear shifting on steep uphill grades and allow engine braking to maintain or reduce vehicle speed and assist the driver in controlling the vehicle when descending a steep grade

    Provides additional braking and control on downhill grades when used in combination with the engine brake feature on the 6.7L V8 turbo diesel engine

    Standard Hill Start Assist Helps prevent rolling back on a grade by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill

    Whether heading up an incline in drive or in reverse, you’re covered

    Smart Trailer Tow Connector Provides trailer connection status, lighting and trailer battery alerts/warnings

    Alerts/warnings are displayed in the message center or either the 4.2" or 8" productivity screen (if equipped)

    Included in all optional towing packages

    5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package

    Available on all models (Factory equipped on 4x4 models, dealer installed on 4x2 models)

    Provides the necessary under-the-bed hardware to allow mounting of a 5th-wheel/gooseneck hitch in the pickup bed to put more of the trailer weight over the tow vehicle

    Features five pickup bed attachment points with plugs, frame under-bed crossmember and integrated 7-pin connector

    Trailer Reverse Guidance

    Utilizes 3 cameras to provide multiple views along with steering guidance graphics to assist in backing and maneuvering a trailer

    Included with the optional Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System

    Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System Available 360-degree camera with split-view display utilizes 4 cameras to provide an all-around view on 8" color screen

    Trailer Reverse Guidance uses 3 cameras to provide multiple views of trailers, as well as steering guidance graphics, to assist with trailer maneuvers while in reverse

    Includes rear view camera, rear center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) camera and LED center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL)

    Dynamic Hitch AssistIncluded within the standard rear-view camera, providing added driver convenience when hitching a trailer

    Uses a dynamic centerline in the display to assist in guiding the truck backward

    Helps better position the truck with a trailer coupler

    As steering adjustments are made, the projected path is shown on the screen

    Reduces the need for a spotter or having to get in and out of the truck to check position

    Tow Technology Bundle Available on Lariat and King Ranch

    Provides driver-assist technology features to improve the driver-towing experience: • Adaptive steering • Auto high-beam headlamps with rain-

    sensing windshield wipers • Lane-keeping alert • Trailer Reverse Guidance • Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System

    (includes 360-degree camera with split-view display and rear center high-mounted stop lamp [CHMSL] camera) (4) Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome

    the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

    (5) Standard on F-350 DRW/F-450; optional on F-250/F-350 SRW. (6) See limited warranty for details. Ask your dealer for details. (7) 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel.

    Many motorhome owners prefer the practicality of having another vehicle along when they travel. In fact, towing another vehicle behind the motorhome has become more and more popular in recent years. Furthermore, many of those who want to tow another vehicle prefer one that can be easily towed without a dolly or trailer. The car and truck models shown in the chart at right can be towed with all four wheels down. For safe operation, towed vehicles (or dollies or trailers carrying them) should be equipped with a separate functional brake system. See pages 31 and 39 for additional brake information.

    Note: Some aftermarket camper centers offer kits which may allow vehicles with automatic transmissions to be flat-towed. Check your new vehicle Warranty Guide, as this could void the warranty of your vehicle.

    If your vehicle configuration is not listed in the chart at right, then Four-Wheel-Down towing is not available.

    Tow-dollies allow you to tow your vehicle behind a RV or motorhome if you are unable to four-wheel-down your car, truck or SUV. Tow-dollies work by letting the front two wheels of the vehicle rest on it while the back two wheels stay on the ground. They are not as long as the traditional trailers, which makes turning corners much easier.

    Before using the tow-dolly there are a few things you must know before towing. Read the manufacturer’s instructions that came with the tow-dolly before towing, loading or unloading the dolly. Attach the appropriate trailer hitch and drawbar hardware to the vehicle for the tow-dolly. Attach the dolly to the drawbar. The dolly should be completely secure and on level ground before the vehicle to be towed is put on or taken off the dolly. Drive the vehicle onto the dolly with its front wheels. Secure the vehicle to the tow-dolly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Follow the instructions for attaching and connecting the auxiliary lights to the back of the vehicle being towed. Test the auxiliary lights to make sure that the turn signals, stop lamps, and running lights work properly.

    Select the F-Series cab design and drive system (4x2 or 4x4) you prefer. Read down the column to find the trailer weight that can be towed with engine/axle ratio combinations listed. See pages 18–25. GCWR column shows maximum allowable combined weight of vehicle, trailer and cargo (including passengers) for each engine/axle ratio combination. Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight assumes a towing vehicle with any mandatory options, no cargo, tongue load of 10% (conventional trailer) or king pin weight of 15% (5th-wheel trailer) and driver and passenger (150 lbs. each). Weight of additional options, passengers, cargo and hitch must be deducted from this weight. Also check Required and Recommended Equipment on page 15.

    (1) Maximum loaded trailer weight requires weight-distributing hitch. (2) Super Duty Chassis Cab does not offer a conventional hitch receiver as a factory-installed option. (3) Available with High-Capacity Trailer Tow Package only.

    Note: Trailer tongue (trailer king pin for 5th-wheel towing) load weight should be 10% (15% for 5th-wheel towing) of total loaded trailer weight. Make sure vehicle payload (reduce by option weight) will accommodate trailer tongue (trailer king pin for 5th-wheel towing) load weight and weight of passengers and cargo added to towing vehicle. Addition of trailer tongue (trailer king pin for 5th-wheel towing) load weight and weight of passengers and cargo must not cause vehicle weights to exceed rear GAWR or GVWR. These ratings can be found on the vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Label.
