The tow/haul feature improves
transmission operation when towing a
trailer or a heavy load. All transmission
gear ranges are available when using
tow/haul.
To activate tow/haul, press the
button on the gearshift lever.
The TOW HAUL indicator light
will illuminate in the instrument cluster.
Tow/haul delays upshifts to reduce
frequency of transmission shifting.
Tow/haul also provides engine braking in
all forward gears when the transmission is
in the D (Overdrive) position; this engine
braking will slow the vehicle and assist the
driver in controlling the vehicle when
descending a grade. Depending on driving
conditions and load conditions, the
transmission may downshift, slow the
vehicle and control the vehicle speed when
descending a hill, without the accelerator
pedal being pressed. The amount of
downshift braking provided will vary based
upon the amount the brake pedal is
pressed.
To deactivate the tow/haul feature and
return to normal driving mode, press the
button on the end of the gearshift lever.
The TOW HAUL light will no longer be
illuminated.
Tow/haul will also deactivate when the
vehicle is powered down. WARNING
Do not use the tow/haul feature
when driving in icy or slippery
conditions as the increased engine
braking can cause the rear wheels to slide
and the vehicle to swing around with the
possible loss of vehicle control. M (Manual) without Overdrive
With the gearshift lever in M (Manual), the
driver can change gears up or down as
desired. This is called SelectShift
Automatic
™ transmission (SST) mode.
By moving the gearshift lever from drive
position
D (Overdrive) to M (Manual) you
now have control of selecting the gear you
desire using buttons on the shift lever.
To return to normal
D (Overdrive) position,
move the shift lever back from M to D.
The transmission will operate in gears one
through six.
2 (Second)
Use
2 (Second) to start-up on slippery
roads or to provide additional engine
braking on downgrades.
1 (First)
• Provides maximum engine braking
• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift
lever
• The transmission will not downshift
into
1 (First) at high speeds; it will
downshift to a lower gear and then
shift into
1 (First) when the vehicle
reaches slower speeds.
Forced downshifts
• Allowed in
D (Overdrive) with the
tow/haul feature on or off
• Press the accelerator to the floor
• Allows transmission to select an
appropriate gear

USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
WARNING
For important information regarding
safe operation of this type of vehicle,
see General Information in the
Wheels and Tires chapter. Note:
Do not use 4X4 mode on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so will produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and may
damage drive components. 4X4 mode is
only intended for consistently slippery or
loose surfaces.
Note: If 4X4 low is selected while the
vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h),
the 4WD system will not perform a shift.
This is normal and should be no reason for
concern. Refer to Shifting to or from 4L (4X4
Low) for proper operation.
4WD Indicator Lights
Note: When a 4X4 system fault is present,
the system will typically remain in whichever
4X4 mode was selected prior to the fault
condition occurring. It will not default to 4X2
in all circumstances. When this warning is
displayed, have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized dealer.
4X2 Momentarily illuminates when
2H is selected.
4X4 Auto Continuously illuminates when
4A is selected (2-Speed
Automatic 4WD vehicles only)
4X4 HIGH Continuously illuminates when
4H is selected. 4X4 LOW Continuously illuminates when
4L is selected.
CHECK 4X4 Displays when a 4X4 fault is
present.
Using the Electronic Shift on the
Fly 4WD system (If Equipped) 2H (4X2)
For general on-road driving. Sends power
to the rear wheels only and should be used
for street and highway driving. Provides
optimal smoothness and fuel economy at
high speeds.
4H (4X4 HIGH)
Used for extra traction such as in snow or
icy roads or in off road situations. This
mode is not intended for use on dry
pavement.
Note:
Do not use 4H (4X4 HIGH) on dry,
hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise and increased tire wear. 4H
(4X4 HIGH) is only intended for consistently
slippery or loose surfaces.

2H (4X2)
For general on-road driving. Sends power
to the rear wheels only and should be used
for street and highway driving. Provides
optimal smoothness and fuel economy at
high speeds.
4A (4X4 AUTO)
Provides electronic control four-wheel
drive with power delivered to the front and
rear wheels, as required, for increased
traction. This is appropriate for all on-road
driving conditions, including as dry road
surfaces, but is especially useful on wet
pavement, snow, dirt, or gravel.
4H (4X4 HIGH)
Used for extra traction such as in snow or
icy roads or in off road situations. This
mode is not intended for use on dry
pavement.
Note:
Do not use 4H (4X4 HIGH) on dry,
hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise and increased tire wear. 4H
(4X4 HIGH) is only intended for consistently
slippery or loose surfaces. 4L (4X4 LOW)
Uses extra gearing to provide maximum
power to all four wheels at reduced
speeds. Intended only for off-road
applications such as deep sand, steep
grades, or pulling heavy objects. 4L (4x4
low) will not engage while the vehicle is
moving above 3 mph (5 km/h); this is
normal and should be no reason for
concern. Refer to Shifting to or from 4L
(4x4 low) for proper operation.
Shifting between system modes
Note:
Momentarily releasing the accelerator
pedal while performing a shift will improve
engagement/disengagement times.
Note: Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping.
Note: Some noise may be heard as the
system shifts or engages; this is normal.
Note: 4X4 high mode is not intended for
use on dry pavement.
You can move the control from 2H to 4A
or 4H at a stop or while driving. The
information display may display a message
indicating a 4X4 shift is in progress. Once
the shift is complete the message center
will then display the system mode
selected.
Shifting to or from 4L (4X4 low)
Note: Some noise may be heard as the
system shifts or engages; this is normal.
Note: 4x4 low mode is not intended for use
on dry pavement.
1. Bring the vehicle to a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
3. Move the 4WD control to the desired position.
155
F150 (TF6) , enUSA Four-Wheel Drive
(If Equipped)E166931

The information display will display a
message indicating a 4X4 shift is in
progress. The information display will then
display the system mode selected. If any
of the above shift conditions are not met,
the shift will not occur and the information
display will display information guiding the
driver through the proper shifting
procedures.
If SHIFT DELAYED PULL FORWARD
displays in the information display, a
transfer case gear tooth blockage is
present. To alleviate this condition, place
the transmission in a forward gear, move
your vehicle forward approximately 5 feet
(1.5 meters), and shift the transmission
back to
N neutral to allow the transfer case
to complete the range shift.
How Your Vehicle Differs From
Other Vehicles WARNING
Vehicles with a higher center of
gravity such as utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity.
Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are
not designed for cornering at speeds as
high as passenger cars any more than
low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive
speed and abrupt maneuvers in these
vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could
result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death. Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle may be
higher to allow it to travel over rough
terrain without getting hung up or
damaging underbody components. The differences that make your vehicle so
versatile also make it handle differently
than an ordinary passenger car.
Maintain steering wheel control at all
times, especially in rough terrain. Since
sudden changes in terrain can result in
abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure
you grip the steering wheel from the
outside. Do not grip the spokes.
Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage
from concealed objects such as rocks and
stumps.
You should either know the terrain or
examine maps of the area before driving.
Map out your route before driving in the
area. To maintain steering and braking
control of your vehicle, you must have all
four wheels on the ground and they must
be rolling, not sliding or spinning.
Driving Off-Road With Truck and
Utility Vehicles
Note:
On some models, the initial shift from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive while
the vehicle is moving can cause some
momentary clunk and ratcheting sounds.
This is the front drivetrain coming up to
speed and the automatic locking hubs
engaging and is not cause for concern.
Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with
a front air dam that can become damaged
(due to reduced ground clearance) when
taking your vehicle off-road. This air dam
can be taken off by removing two bolts.
Four-wheel drive vehicles are specially
equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud
and rough terrain and have operating
characteristics that are somewhat
different from conventional vehicles, both
on and off the road.
