The information display shows a
confirmation message when you
successfully confirm the target.
Calibrating the System
To complete setup, drive your vehicle
straight forward between 4– 24 mph
(6– 39 km/h), as directed by the
information display.
Note: Keep the steering wheel straight
during the calibration process. If the steering
wheel is in a turned position, the calibration
pauses. The information display prompts
you to drive straight forward to complete
the calibration.
The information display shows a message
during calibration and after calibration is
complete Note:
For best results, do not calibrate the
system at night.
Using Trailer Reverse Guidance
1. Shift into reverse (R). Press the rear camera button to expand the menu.
2. Press the trailer icon.
3. Select the applicable trailer in the information display.
4. When in trailer reverse guidance mode,
you can see the camera view on the
side your trailer is moving, or both sides
when the trailer is straight behind you.
When the views change with the trailer
direction, it is called auto mode. For
example, if you turn the trailer to the
right, you see the right side of your
vehicle and trailer. You can switch this
view manually at any time by using the
arrow keys. To return to auto mode,
press the auto button.
Note: Auto mode is the default setting.
Use the view that helps you the most when
reversing your vehicle and trailer. Normal rear view camera view.
Use this feature when you want
to see your trailer hitch or what
is directly behind your vehicle. Straight back-up mode. Use this
feature when you want to keep
your trailer completely in line
with your truck. In this mode, a steering
wheel graphic shows you which way to turn
your steering wheel to keep your trailer
straight.
Note: It may be helpful to shift your vehicle
into drive (D), pull forward and straighten
out the vehicle and trailer before engaging
straight back-up mode.
Left and right arrows let you see other
views regardless of your trailer angle. Use
them to switch views manually.

Note:
If you're using a fifth wheel or goose
neck trailer, or if you have not set up the
trailer reverse guidance system, auto view
is not available.
To change your view, use the arrows. You
can see the following views:
• Full driver.
• Partial driver.
• 50/50.
• Partial passenger.
• Full passenger. Zoom. Use this feature to zoom
in the camera view.
Return. Ths feature takes you
back to the 360-degree camera
system and out of the trailer
reverse guidance feature. Auto. Ths feature returns you to
auto view.
In addition to multiple view options, your
touchscreen adds some features to give
you more information. For example, after
setting up a conventional trailer, the
display shows a small top-view
representation of your truck and trailer.
This representation shows two,
different-colored lines: A black line shows
you where your trailer is in relation to your
vehicle. A white line gives you a projection
of where your trailer may go based on your
current steering wheel position
Note: When you move the steering wheel,
the white line indicates where the trailer
may go based on your steering wheel input.
When you turn your steering wheel to the
left, the trailer moves to the right. When you
turn your steering wheel to the right, the
trailer moves to the left. When you turn the steering wheel, a small
representation shows you two zones to
warn you of a possible jackknife condition.
The view shows your truck and trailer
position and provides visual feedback to
help avoid a jackknife condition entirely.
The yellow zone warns you of a potential
jackknife position. When you enter into this
zone, it is recommended to put your vehicle
back into drive (D) and pull forward.
Moving forward helps put the truck and
trailer back into an in-line position.
The red zone indicates that you need to
put the truck into drive (D) and pull
forward immediately.
Troubleshooting
Note:
The system requires a clear view of
the sticker placed on the trailer. You must
keep the camera lens and sticker clean for
the system to operate correctly.
Setup
The system is designed to be used with a
wide variety of trailers. However, there are
some trailers that do not have a proper
surface and location to mount the sticker.
These trailers are not supported. Attempts
to place the sticker on a surface that does
not meet the sticker placement
requirement listed in Step 3 of the setup
instruction, or entering inaccurate
measurements to proceed through setup
can result in improper system function.
Accurate measurements are critical to
correct system function. If you need to
check measurements or change them, you
can access them through the trailer menus
in the information display. Choose the
option to change the sticker from the
change trailer settings menu. It is not
necessary to remove the sticker if you are
just reviewing or changing measurements.

Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201804, Fourth-Printing TowingE224485 E224486 E224487

remove the sticker from its current
location if the obstruction cannot
be cleared. Place a new sticker that
is visible to the camera in all
positions of the trailer behind your
vehicle.
• You can change your sticker
location by going into the trailer
menu, selecting trailer options,
selecting change trailer settings
and then selecting the change
sticker option. The previous sticker
must be removed. ONLY ONE
STICKER SHOULD BE PLACED
ON THE TRAILER FOR CORRECT
SYSTEM FUNCTION.
• The camera system uses the
entered measurements to help
locate the sticker. Inaccurate
measurements reduce the system ’s
ability to locate the sticker. Check
the measurements entered into the
system are correct. Refer to the
step 4 of trailer reverse guidance
setup for instructions on
measurements.
• You can change your measurement
by going into the trailer menu,
selecting trailer options, selecting
change trailer setting and then
selecting the change sticker option.
Disregard the prompt to remove
this sticker and continue to the next
step if you only plan to update the
measurements for the current
sticker location.
System does not backup straight:
• Factors such as the drawbar
connection to the hitch receiver, road
camber, road grade and compliance in
the trailer suspension can influence
how straight the system is able to
reverse your trailer when the wheel is
not turned. You can compensate for
the trailer drifting to the right or left by slowly turning the wheel until the trailer
is following your desired path and then
holding the wheel in that position. If
you would like to recalibrate the
system for straight backing, you can do
so with the following procedure.
•
Go into the trailer menu, select
trailer options, select change trailer
setting and then select the change
sticker option. Your saved
measurements show. Do not
change them, but continue to
confirm measurements. Once you
confirm the measurements, the
system then prompts you to
perform the calibration procedure.
Note: The system is designed to be used
with the same trailer connection every time
the trailer is chosen from the selection
menu. Using a different drawbar or a
different pin hole, on drawbars with more
than one pin hole, when connecting the
drawbar to your vehicle affects the trailer
measurements. Take the measurements
again and update if required.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (IF
EQUIPPED) 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.

Calculating the Maximum
Loaded Trailer Weight for Your
Vehicle
1. Start with the gross combined weight rating for your vehicle
model and axle ratio. See the
previous chart.
2. Subtract all of the following
that apply to your vehicle:
• Vehicle curb weight.
• Hitch hardware weight, such as
a draw bar, ball, locks or weight
distributing hardware.
• Driver weight.
• Passenger(s) weight.
• Payload, cargo and luggage
weight.
• Aftermarket equipment weight. This equals the maximum loaded
trailer weight for this combination.
Note:
The trailer tongue load is
considered part of the payload for
your vehicle. Reduce the total
payload by the final trailer tongue
weight.
Note: Consult an authorized dealer
to determine the maximum trailer
weight allowed for your vehicle if
you are not sure.

When Towing a Trailer
•
Check your hitch, electrical connections
and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly
after you have traveled 50 mi (80 km).
• Do not drive faster than 70 mph
(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi
(800 km).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.
• When stopped in congested or heavy
traffic during hot weather, place the
gearshift in park (P) to aid engine and
transmission cooling and to help A/C
performance.
• Turn off the speed control with heavy
loads or in hilly terrain. The speed
control may turn off automatically
when you are towing on long, steep
grades.
• Shift to a lower gear when driving down
a long or steep hill. Do not apply the
brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.
• If your transmission is equipped with a
Grade Assist or Tow/Haul feature, use
this feature when towing. This provides
engine braking and helps eliminate
excessive transmission shifting for
optimum fuel economy and
transmission cooling.
• If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Steering and you have
enabled Tow/Haul, the Adaptive
Steering system adjusts the steering
response to match your vehicle ’s load.
The system reduces vehicle sensitivity
to steering inputs at higher vehicle
speeds while it maintains the ease of
parking and maneuverability at low
speeds. •
If your vehicle is equipped with
AdvanceTrac with RSC, this system
may turn on during typical cornering
maneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer.
This is normal. Turning the corner at a
slower speed while towing may reduce
this tendency.
• If you are towing a trailer frequently in
hot weather, hilly conditions, at the
gross combined weight rating (or any
combination of these factors), consider
refilling your rear axle with synthetic
gear lubricant (if the axle is not already
filled with it).
• Allow more distance for stopping with
a trailer attached. Anticipate stops and
brake gradually.
• Avoid parking on a grade. However, if
you must park on a grade:
1. Turn the steering wheel to point your vehicle tires away from traffic flow.
2. Set your vehicle parking brake.
3. Place the transmission in park (P).
4. Place wheel chocks in front and back of the trailer wheels. (Chocks not
included with vehicle.)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
temporary or conventional spare tire. A
"temporary" spare tire is different in size
(diameter or width), tread-type
(All-Season or All Terrain) or is from a
different manufacturer than the road tires
on your vehicle. Consult information on the
tire label or Safety Compliance label for
limitations when using.
Launching or Retrieving a Boat or
Personal Watercraft (PWC)
Note: Disconnect the wiring to the trailer
before
backing the trailer into the water.
Note: Reconnect the wiring to the trailer
after
you remove the trailer from the water.
295
Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201804, Fourth-Printing Towing

When backing down a ramp during boat
launching or retrieval:
•
Do not allow the static water level to
rise above the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher
than 6 in (15 cm) above the bottom
edge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to
enter vehicle components:
• Causing internal damage to the
components.
• Affecting driveability, emissions, and
reliability.
Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime
the rear axle has been submerged in water.
Water may have contaminated the rear
axle lubricant, which is not normally
checked or changed unless a leak is
suspected or other axle repair is required.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS WARNING:
If your vehicle has a
steering wheel lock make sure the
ignition is in the accessory or on position
when being towed. Emergency Towing
If your vehicle becomes inoperable
(without access to wheel dollies,
car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport
vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels
on the ground, regardless of the powertrain
and transmission configuration) under the
following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is facing forward for
towing in a forward direction.
• Place the transmission in neutral (N).
If you cannot move the transmission
into neutral (N), you may need to
override it. See
Transmission (page
206).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km). WARNING:
If your vehicle has a
steering wheel lock make sure the
ignition is in the accessory or on position
when being towed.
Recreational Towing
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle. See
Climate Control
(page 145).
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing, such as towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. We have
designed these guidelines to prevent
damage to your transmission.
Two-wheel Drive Vehicles
Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels
on the ground, as vehicle or transmission
damage may occur. It is recommended to
tow your vehicle with all four (4) wheels
off the ground, such as when using a
car-hauling trailer. Otherwise, you cannot
tow your vehicle.
