HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE WORK
Using the Electronic Shift On the
Fly System (If Equipped)
This four-wheel drive system utilizes a
2-speed Electronic Shift On the Fly (ESOF)
transfer case which is also known as a
part-time system. This system offers the
driver two-wheel drive high, four-wheel
drive high, and four-wheel drive low as
available modes of operation. When either
four-wheel drive high or four-wheel drive
low are selected, the system provides
mechanically locked four-wheel drive
power to both the front and rear wheels
for use in off-road or slippery conditions
such as deep snow, sand or mud. Selecting
four-wheel drive low also provides
additional gearing for increased torque
multiplication for conditions like deep
sand, steep slopes, or pulling heavy
objects. Additionally, the system is capable
of recreational flat towing by putting the
transfer case into neutral (N). See
Recreationally Towing Your Vehicle
(page
469).
There is further information on driving in
unique driving conditions.
See Off-Road
Driving (page 449).
Using the 2-Speed Automatic
Four-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
The 2-speed automatic four-wheel drive
system utilizes an electronically controlled
on-demand 2-speed transfer case. This
system monitors various vehicle sensory
inputs to provide an increased level of
performance. This system offers the driver
two-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive
auto, four-wheel drive high, and four-wheel
drive low as available modes of operation.
When four-wheel drive auto is selected,
the system continuously varies power to
the front wheels for optimum performance for all on-road conditions. When either
four-wheel drive high or four-wheel drive
low are selected, the system provides
electronically or mechanically locked
power to the front and rear wheels for use
in off-road or slippery conditions such as
deep snow, sand or mud. Selecting
four-wheel drive low also provides
additional gearing for increased torque
multiplication for conditions like deep
sand, steep slopes, or pulling heavy
objects. Additionally, the system is capable
of recreational flat towing by putting the
transfer case into neutral (N).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Vehicles with a higher
center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. WARNING:
Do not become
overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.
Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle could be
higher to allow it to travel over rough
terrain without getting stuck or damaging
underbody components. The differences
that make your vehicle so versatile also
make it handle differently than an ordinary
passenger car. Always maintain steering
wheel control, 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. Drive slower in strong crosswinds
which can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle. Be
extremely careful when driving on
pavement made slippery by loose sand,
water, gravel, snow or ice.
Note:
Do not use four-wheel drive high or
four-wheel drive low mode on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and can
damage drive components.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS
Operating Four-Wheel Drive with
a Spare or Mismatched Tires
(If
Equipped)
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of
the spare tire can affect the four-wheel
drive system. If there is a significant
difference between the size of the spare
tire and the remaining tires, you could have
limited four-wheel drive functionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, we
recommend that you do not:
• Exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) with a
four-wheel drive mode turned on.
• Turn on a four-wheel drive mode
unless the vehicle is stationary.
• Use a four-wheel drive mode on dry
pavement.
Driving with the full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can limit
four-wheel drive functionality, especially
when driving in a mechanically locked
four-wheel drive mode. You can experience
the following:
270
2022 F-150 (TFD) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Four-Wheel Drive
(If Equipped)

•
Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.
• Difficulty shifting out of a mechanically
locked four-wheel drive mode.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly can lead to impairment of the
following:
• Comfort and noise.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
Mechanical Shift Blocking
On four-wheel drive vehicles with a
mechanically locked four-wheel drive high
mode, the transfer case distributes torque
to the front wheels by mechanically
interlocking the front and rear driveshafts
together. Various external factors can
affect shifting performance of this type of
system including, but not limited to:
• Vehicle acceleration.
• Dissimilar tire sizes.
• Steering input.
If the system detects a mechanical shift
blockage at speed after you select
two-wheel drive high, the message "4x4
Unable to Disengage See Manual", could
display momentarily. If this message
displays, one or more of the following
actions can relieve the mechanical shift
block:
• Momentary acceleration.
• Momentary braking.
• Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
• Shifting the transmission to neutral and
back to drive.
• Shifting the transmission to reverse
and back to drive.
• Driving the vehicle around a tight turn
at a slow speed. SELECTING A FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE
The four-wheel drive mode control is on
the instrument panel.

To select a four-wheel drive mode, press
the four-wheel drive mode control button
of the desired mode. You can select
two-wheel drive high (2H), four-wheel
drive high (4H), or if your vehicle has
four-wheel drive auto (4A) at a stop or
while driving. Once the shift is complete,
the information display will then display
the selected four-wheel drive mode. While
shifts are in progress, the lights on the
four-wheel drive control switch can flash
and you could see messages in the
information display indicating that a shift
is in progress or to release the accelerator
pedal to improve shift performance.
Note:
Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping or while applying
the accelerator pedal.
Note: You could hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information
display. See Four-Wheel Drive –
Information Messages (page 275).
Shifting to or from Four-Wheel
Drive Low (4L)
To select or exit four-wheel drive low (4L):
1. Bring your vehicle to a speed of
3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the transmission in neutral (N)
3. Press the desired four-wheel drive button on the four-wheel drive mode
control switch.
The information display will display a
message indicating a four-wheel drive shift
is in progress. If any of the above shift
conditions are not present, the shift will
not occur and the information display will
display information guiding the driver
through the proper shifting procedures. If
there is a transfer case tooth blockage a
message will display in the information display. To alleviate this condition, place
the transmission in a forward gear, move
your vehicle forward approximately
5 ft
(1.5 m), and shift the transmission back to
neutral (N) to allow the transfer case to
complete the range shift.
Note: You could hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information
display.
See Four-Wheel Drive –
Information Messages (page 275).
SELECTING A FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE - RAPTOR The four-wheel drive mode control is on
the instrument panel.
