PRO TRAILER BACKUP ASSIST™
Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, whether it’s a gooseneck or a 5th
wheel, backing up a trailer with the available, class-exclusive* Pro Trailer Backup Assist™

makes it easy. Rotate a knob on the instrument panel left or right in the direction you want the trailer to go. It’s that simple.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WITH AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)
Working on the job or getting to your weekend destination should be free of on-road surprises. But hazards along the way can arise. This feature scans the road ahead and can alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path. If an impact becomes imminent and you don ‘t take corrective action , the brakes can apply automatically — but only if it’s necessary.118
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
To reduce the stress while you’re on the job or off, employ the advanced features of available Adaptive Cruise Control.10
Just set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. And as the vehicle slows, so do you — automatically. When the vehicle speeds back up, you resume your pre-set speed and distance.
BLIS® (BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM) WITH TRAILER COVERAGE
If you pull a large trailer with your Ford Super Duty®
, an enhanced version of available BLIS®
(Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert10
is offered especially for you. It provides coverage for not only the truck you’re driving but also the conventional trailer you’re towing. The system supports conventional trailers up to 33 feet long.
LANE-KEEPING ALERT
A camera mounted behind the windshield scans road lane markings and detects an unintended lane departure during day or night. When the system detects you’re drifting outside your lane, available Lane Keeping Alert10
warns you through a series of steering wheel vibrations, which simulate driving over a rumble strip.10
There’s also the Driver Alert mode. It can recognize repeated lane drifting as a sign of tiredness and issue visual and audio alerts that it’s time to pull over a take a break.
AUTOMATIC HIGH-BEAM HEADLAMPS
We’ve all been there. Heading into a pitch-black stretch of road and having to turn on the high beams — then forgetting to turn them off again as oncoming traffic approaches. Now, unlit roads, dark peripheries and other low-visibility situations don’t have to catch you off guard. Optional on XL and standard on XLT models and above, auto high-beam headlamps10
can help sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead. They even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers. So you can keep your focus — and both hands on the wheel.10
STANDARD REAR VIEW CAMERA
Backing up is easier when you have camera technology to assist you in seeing what’s behind your vehicle. The standard Rear View Camera10
provides not only a rear visual when you’re slowly backing up, but also guidelines to help you navigate. Fixed guidelines direct you when you’re going straight back. Active guidelines show the path you intend to take when you’re backing up on a curve off the straight line. If you’re towing a trailer, a centre guideline helps you line it up to your vehicle’s trailer hitch.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL™
Available Hill Descent Control10 is essentially a cruise control system that uses traction control technology with anti-lock brakes.10 It continually adjusts braking pressure to help control slippage and maintain a constant preset speed while you are going down a steep grade. This capability helps you concentrate on steering since you don’t have to apply the brakes or downshift the transmission. On a downhill grade, Hill Descent Control can maintain a vehicle speed between 3 and 19 km/hr. Above 32 km/hr, the system remains activated, but the descent speed cannot be set until you are below 32 km/hr again.
