Engine Technologies 



ENgINEERINg INSIgHT 

EcoBoost Twin Turbochargers 

What It Is 

• A turbocharger uses otherwise wasted energy from 

the engine’s exhaust to rotate a turbine wheel 

How It Works 

• The turbine wheel is coupled to a compressor that 

pressurizes air coming into the engine — this is 

called “boost” and allows the engine to breathe in 

air as if it were larger in displacement since more 

air is “forced” into the intake 

• The more air an engine breathes, the more power 

it generates 

Key Benefit 

• A twin-turbo design offers many benefits 

compared to a larger, single-turbo approach 

– Compact design and low NVH (Noise, Vibration 

and Harshness) characteristics 

– Less engine compartment heat 

– Turbo lag is virtually eliminated — the turbos will 

spool up faster than a single-turbo engine and 

allow the EcoBoost 3.5L 4V DOHC V6 to reach 

peak power faster than a single turbo design 

– Drivers will feel an immediate response when 

they step on the accelerator

Engine Technologies cont’d 

ENgINEERINg INSIgHT 

EcoBoost Gasoline Turbocharging Combined with Direct Fuel Injection 

What It Is 

• Proven heavy-duty diesel technology in a gasoline engine 

• A key technology behind the class-leading towing and fuel efficiency of F-150 

How It Works 

• Direct injection fuel injectors are positioned on the side of the combustion chamber 

• Each injector delivers a precise fuel spray directly into the combustion chamber of each engine cylinder 

• Solenoid-controlled high-pressure injectors allow for a higher engine compression ratio, compared to 

traditional fuel injection 

• An electronic control system varies the timing and intensity of the fuel delivery according to the EcoBoost 

engine’s operating conditions 

Why EcoBoost Direct Injection Is Important to F-150 

• Direct injection is a proven heavy-duty diesel engine technology — now in a gasoline engine application 

• The combination of direct injection AND turbocharging allows the EcoBoost engine to deliver the broad, flat 

torque curve of a diesel engine 

• A flat torque curve is key when towing or hauling heavy loads

MAKE THE POINT: Measuring Fuel Economy 

Remind your customer that actual fuel economy is best measured after accumulating 2000 to 3000 miles, 

allowing the engine to completely “break in.” Whether the customer chooses to use the Average MPG function 

available in the Message Center or prefers to manually calculate fuel economy, emphasize that consistency in 

fill-up and driving habits are critical to achieving accurate fuel economy data. 



July 2011

Key Features 

• Engine power is matched with gears to provide better 

performance and smoother shifts 

• More gears provide better fuel economy 

• Full electronic solenoid control of clutch elements 

• Tow/Haul Mode 

• Manual Mode (available) 

• Progressive Range Select (available) 

• Standard on all models 

Tow/Haul Mode 

• Reduces gear hunting, improves power delivery and 

uses engine braking to help control vehicle speed 

when descending hills 

• Especially useful when hauling or towing a 

heavy load 



6-speed Automatic Transmission 



SelectShift Manual Mode 

• Allows driver to change gears, up or down, without 

using a clutch 

• Engaged by moving the shifter to the 

Manual (M) position 

• Driver shifts manually with a gear shiftmounted 

switch 

– Pressing the “+” rocker switch on the gear shift will 

upshift the transmission 

– Pressing the “—” rocker switch on the gear shift will 

downshift the transmission 

• Sequential gear engagement does not require 

operating a clutch 

• System automatically protects against damaging 

shift scenarios 

Progressive Range Select 

• Allows driver to reduce the range of available 

transmission gears while operating in Drive Mode 

to limit the number of gears available for road and 

load conditions 

• Range Select Mode is engaged by pressing either 

the “+” or “—” rocker switch on the gear shift 

MAKE THE POINT: 6-speed Automatic Transmission 

The standard F-150 6-speed automatic transmission is designed and built with the ability to adapt operating 

calibrations to meet the needs of the driver and to help provide consistent and durable shifts during the life of 

the vehicle. Be sure to communicate that most transmission calibration adjustments are made during the first 

few times the vehicle is driven and that they may notice harsher transmission shifts during this time. Assure 

the customer this is normal and how the transmission learns and adapts to the driver’s habits and maintains 

optimal transmission shift point settings.

Trailer Sway Control 

• Standard on all F-150 models 

• Works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac with 

RSC (Roll Stability Control) system to expand the 

vehicle’s dynamic stability control capabilities, 

adding an additional layer of confidence and control 

while towing a trailer 

• AdvanceTrac control module incorporates additional 

software to monitor the truck’s performance 

while towing 

• The added software measures the yaw motion of the 

truck to determine if the trailer is swaying and then 

responds to eliminate the sway condition by applying 

brakeforce to individual wheels and, if necessary, 

reducing engine power to help the driver regain 

control of the trailer 

• If the vehicle is equipped with the available Trailer 

Brake Controller and the trailer has electric brakes, 

the trailer brakes will be also activated to help reduce 

the sway condition and help the driver regain control 

of the trailer 




Payload and Towing 

Revised October 2011 esourcebook.dealerconnection.com 


Flat/Neutral Towing 

• Some customers may want to know if it is possible 

to tow their F-150 pickup with all four wheels on 

the ground 

• There are various terms for this capability, the most 

common of which is neutral towing, but it is also 

known as “4-wheel-down” or “flat” towing 

• F-150 4x4 models can be flat/neutral towed 

– To engage the flat/neutral tow capability the 

driver must: turn the ignition to “ON”, fully 

depress brake pedal, shift transmission to “N” 

(Neutral), and rotate the 4WD control switch 

from the 2H position to the 4L position five 

times within 7 seconds. The Productivity Screen 

will display a message confirming that flat/ 

neutral has been activated 

• F-150 4x2 models cannot be flat/neutral towed 

• For specific towing methods or restrictions, be sure 

to consult the RV & Trailer Towing Guide or the 

vehicle Owner Guide

Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) 

• Factory-installed and warranted by 

Ford Motor Company 

• Fully integrated into the instrument panel and the 

vehicle’s onboard computer 



• Ensures smooth and effective trailer braking 

by powering the trailer’s electric brakes with a 

proportional output based on the towing vehicle’s 

brake pressure 

• Controller adapts its 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 

braking strategy changes to compensate for traction 

conditions, reducing the risk of trailer brake lockup 

• Provides instant visual/audible warning in case of 

accidental trailer disconnect 

• Includes the following user indicators in the 

Message Center: 

– Trailer connection indicator 

– GAIN setting display 

– OUTPUT bar graph 

• Manual control lever and +/– (GAIN adjustment) 

buttons located on the instrument panel allow the 

trailer brakes to be manually applied and adjusted for 

optimum performance 

• Available on all models as order code 67T, included 

with Max. Trailer Tow Packages 

• Requires: 

– Trailer Tow Package 

– Fog lamps and XL Décor Group on XL models 

– STX Décor Package on STX models 

NOTE: Ford Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) has verified 

compatibility with trailers (one to four axles) utilizing 

electrically actuated drum brakes and certain Electric- 

Over-Hydraulic (EOH) actuated drum or disc brake 

systems. See the chart at right for Ford-verified brands 

and model numbers of TBC-compatible EOH brake 

systems. There may be other EOH brake systems not 

shown in the chart. Those systems have not been 

Ford compatibility-tested with the TBC and are not 

recommended for use. Ford TBC is not compatible with 

any trailer equipped with a surge-type brake system.

ENGINEERING INSIGHT 

Electric-Over-Hydraulic (EOH) Trailer Brakes 

What are EOH Brakes? 

• Electric-Over-Hydraulic trailer brakes, more 

commonly known as EOH, differ from the more 

common electric trailer brakes 

• EOH brakes are operated by an electrically powered 

pump that pressurizes a hydraulic fluid reservoir 

• The fluid reservoir pressurizes either a wheel cylinder 

(drum brakes) or a caliper (disc brakes) in much the 

same way a vehicle master cylinder applies pressure 

to the braking system 

What You Should Know 

• EOH trailer brakes are considerably more expensive 

than electric trailer brakes, but offer benefits 

desirable to certain customers, including: 

– Smoother operation 

– More responsive/predictable braking 

– Resistant to operation in wet environments (such 

as boat trailers) 

• The factory-installed TBC is already compatible with 

certain EOH systems in the trailer marketplace 

• EOH trailer brakes are becoming more common in 

the trailer marketplace, so be sure to determine if 

the customer uses an EOH-equipped trailer since the 

Ford TBC would be a strong sales advantage

Accident Avoidance 

Four-wheel Disc Brakes with ABS 

(Anti-lock Braking System) 

• Large brake rotors for a large swept area and 

powerful braking 

• Rotors are vented for better heat dissipation, to help 

reduce brake fade 

• Twin-piston front calipers provide a precise and 

powerful braking performance 

• Low-metallic, high-friction brake pad material for 

durability and dust control result in potentially lower 

maintenance costs and cleaner wheels 

• Includes four-channel ABS for maximum steering 

control under hard braking situations 

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) 

• EBD automatically balances the front to rear braking 

under a variety of loads 

• Whether there’s one person or five people and their 

gear, EBD ensures the driver can apply the brakes 

with confidence 

• EBD means fewer occurrences of ABS activation and 

improved braking under heavy loads, and it allows 

all four wheels to give optimum braking 

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 

• Sensor-based system alerts the driver to significant 

underinflation in any of the tires, excluding the spare 

• Pressure sensors detect actual tire pressure and 

activate a warning light in the vehicle’s Message Center 

when a tire is significantly underinflated 




25



Personal Safety System 



The Personal Safety System uses a number of different 

safety features working together to help protect the 

driver and right front passenger in the event of certain 

frontal collisions. System components include: 

• Dual-stage driver and right front passenger airbags 

• Restraint Control Module 

• Electronic crash severity sensor 

• Front Passenger Sensing System 

• Driver-seat position sensor 

• Front outboard safety belt pretensioners 

• Front outboard safety belt energy 

management retractors 



Safety Canopy System with Roll Sensor 

• Side curtain airbags provide head protection for all 

outboard seating positions 

• System includes side curtain airbags and roll sensor 

• Located in the roof side rail behind the headliner, the 

side curtain airbags deploy downward and outward 

toward the side window opening to protect the 

heads of outboard passengers in both rows 

• Side air curtains are triggered independently of the 

driver and front passenger airbags by side-impact 

sensors or by the roll sensor 

• Roll-fold technology helps the airbag slide between 

the glass and occupant as it inflates 

• Side curtain airbags will not interfere with properly 

installed child safety seats or booster seats 

• Canopy is designed to stay inflated longer for added 

protection in a rollover or multiple side impacts 

Front-seat Side Airbags 

• Designed to protect chest and torso of the 

driver and front passenger in the event of a 

side-impact collision 

• Airbags deploy from the side of the seatback bolsters 

so that they always inflate to provide maximum 

protection, regardless of the seat fore/aft position 

Occupant Protection 

Body Structure 

• Dual hydroformed front tubes on either side of the 

engine bay are shaped to absorb impacts 

• Cab strength is enhanced with continuous tubes 

running from the A-pillar base through the roof rail 

that feature the industry’s first use of hydroformed 

ultra-high-strength steel 

• Rear cab header is boxed for extra strength 

• Stamped steel front “horns” ahead of the strong 

hydroformed front frame rails help manage crash 

forces. These areas are designed to collapse in 

accordion fashion, helping to dissipate crash energy 

before it reaches the passenger compartment 

• A torque box just ahead of the front doors helps 

to guard against deformation of the footwell and 

helps direct crash forces along the high-strength 

rocker panel, helping to prevent intrusion into the 

passenger compartment 

• Side door intrusion beams provide added structural 

stability to help protect occupants in the event of 

certain side impacts 

Safety Belts 

• Three-point safety belts are standard for all 

passengers, including front and rear center 

seating positions 

Head Restraints 

• Standard for all seating positions, including secondrow 

center seating position

• Once the system is turned on, there is no need for the 

driver to activate, deactivate or adjust the windshield 

wipers under normal driving conditions 

• When sensors mounted behind the rear view mirror 

detect moisture on the windshield, the windshield 

wipers are automatically activated at the appropriate 

speed to keep the windshield clear 

– Wiper speed is varied based on amount of 

detected moisture 

• System must be turned off before entering an 

automated car wash 

Reverse Sensing System 

• Helps make parking easier

28 Revised November 2011 


NHTSA Ratings 

• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 

(NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) crash 

test ratings changed beginning with 2011 model year 

vehicles 

• More stringent frontal and side crash tests and 

measuring methods are expected to result in lower 

crash ratings for all vehicles from all manufacturers 

even if the vehicle earned top crash test scores in the 

older 2010 model year ratings 

– NHTSA rollover testing methods are unchanged, so 

the ratings from previous testing remain unchanged 

• Once 2012 model year ratings are published, it’s 

important to remember vehicles with lower star ratings 

are just as safe as they were before – the vehicles are 

not changing, the way the crash testing is conducted 

and measured is what changed 

• Frontal and side crash test ratings located in the 

Government Safety Ratings portion of the 2012 vehicle

What It Is 

• HD Radio (1) Technology is your local AM and FM 

stations, now broadcasting in digital. It offers 

new extra local FM channels, crystal-clear sound, 

more music, news and sports — all subscription free. 

Nearly 2,000 AM and FM stations across the nation 

currently broadcast with HD Radio Technology. 

Visit www.hdradio.com to learn more 

What HD Radio Technology Is Not 

• HD Radio is not satellite radio or 

“high-definition” radio 

• HD Radio signals are local programming and have 

signal strength limitations 

How It Works 

• HD Radio Technology products work the same way 

as conventional radio, with a signal broadcast by a 

station and received by consumers in a specific area 

• However, instead of sending one analog signal, HD 

Radio stations send a bundled signal made up of 

both analog and digital signals 

• The digital signal is compressed, and when received 

by an HD Radio receiver, the signal is decoded into as 

many as three separate channels, each with unique 

programming, including additional or alternative 

format music, news, traffic and sports 

• Because the signal is digital, sound quality is 

significantly superior to traditional radio, virtually 

eliminating buzzing, static and popping

• With an eight-model lineup, there is no better tool for work or play 

• King Ranch, Platinum and Ford Harley-DavidsonTM F-150 are available on Lariat SuperCrew models

Design/Styling Highlights 

• Bold front end includes a grille design tailored to 

reflect the character of each model 

• All models feature jeweled headlamps that wrap into 

the fenders and a sculpted power dome hood adding 

to the truck’s presence 

• Fender and tailgate badges feature a bold, italic 

F-150 on a sculpted silver base with the model 

designation inset in smaller type 

• Wide overall stance instills confidence and is 

achieved with wide front and rear tracks. 

• Tailgate design incorporates three “feature” lines 

stamped into the outer sheet metal that tie to the 

taillamps and with the curves at the top, forming a 

lip that improves the truck’s aerodynamics 

• High beltline enhances the truck’s visual strength 

• Drop-down front windows echo the Super Duty 

design and aid visibility 

• Nearly vertical tumblehome (inward bow of the side 

windows) balances the visual weight of the lower 

body while allowing nearly flush side glass

entering or exiting the vehicle more convenient and 

are available in a variety of designs, depending on 

the model: 

– Black platform 

– 4" black tubular 

– 4" polished stainless steel tubular 

– 5" chrome tubular

(1) Load rating represents maximum allowable weight of people, cargo and body equipment and is reduced by optional equipment weight. 

(2) OPT/ARC Weight is the maximum allowable weight for regular production options (OPT) and aftermarket equipment Accessory Reserve 

Capacity (ARC) for models with standard equipment and the engine/transmission combination indicated. 

(3) Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is determined by the rated capacity of the minimum component of the axle system (axle, computerselected 

springs, wheels, tires) of a specific vehicle. Front and rear GAWRs will, in all cases, sum to a number equal to or greater than the 

GVWR for the particular vehicle. Maximum loaded vehicle (including passengers, equipment and payload) cannot exceed the GVWR. 

NOTE: Refer to pages 86–87 for Standard Powertrain/Chassis Equipment Specifications. See the Truck Payload section in the Source Book 

Appendices or on eSourceBook for optional equipment weights.

(1) Load rating represents maximum allowable weight of people, cargo and body equipment and is reduced by optional equipment weight. 

(2) OPT/ARC Weight is the maximum allowable weight for regular production options (OPT) and aftermarket equipment Accessory Reserve 

Capacity (ARC) for models with standard equipment and the engine/transmission combination indicated. 

(3) Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is determined by the rated capacity of the minimum component of the axle system (axle, computerselected 

springs, wheels, tires) of a specific vehicle. Front and rear GAWRs will, in all cases, sum to a number equal to or greater than the 

GVWR for the particular vehicle. Maximum loaded vehicle (including passengers, equipment and payload) cannot exceed the GVWR. 

NOTE: Refer to pages 86–87 for Standard Powertrain/Chassis Equipment Specifications. See the Truck Payload section in the Source Book 

Appendices or on eSourceBook for optional equipment weights.

Trailer Towing/Camper Information 


Special Applications 

NOTE: See the RV & Trailer Towing Guide, available as a printable PDF on eSourceBook, or the vehicle Owner Guide for more information. 

Completed Vehicle Weight 

The weight of the completed vehicle with equipment installed (and second unit body, if applicable) must not 

exceed the Front GAWR, Rear GAWR or GVWR established by Ford. If sufficient weight is added such that the 

completed vehicle with a driver and more than one passenger would exceed Front GAWR, Rear GAWR or GVWR, 

it is the responsibility of the equipment installer to notify the customer of the appropriate use restrictions (i.e., 

that the user should limit occupancy of the vehicle to the driver and one passenger while the equipment is 

installed). The addition of ballast weight, placed rearward of the rear axle, may be required to prevent front end 

overloading or exceeding Front GAWR. If required, the ballast weight must be securely attached to the vehicle. For 

Ford completed vehicles of 10,000 lbs. GVWR or less, the weight of permanently attached equipment must not 

exceed the Total Accessory Reserve Capacity (TARC) as specified on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. 

Exceeding TARC will require recertification. 

Front-end Wheel Alignment and Headlamp Aim 

Front-end wheel alignment (toe) and headlamp aim may require adjustment after installation of equipment, and is 

the responsibility of the equipment installer. Failure to reset front wheel alignment may cause premature, uneven tire 

wear. If required, reset to chassis manufacturer’s specifications found in the Ford Shop Manual. 

Electrical Connections 

Installation of any inductive load devices (i.e., electric motors, electric clutches for clutch pumps, etc.) MUST 

NOT be connected to OEM wiring or fuse panels. Power for such devices should be taken directly from the 

battery or starter motor relay power terminal. Control of these devices should be achieved via relays. No direct 

current path should exist between OEM wiring and the installed load that is not filtered by the battery. These 

recommendations are intended to reduce or eliminate any induced reverse voltage into the OEM circuitry. 

Warranty 

The Normal Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty applies to vehicles with accessories installed in accordance with 

these guidelines. Consult your Ford dealer or the Owner Guide for any further questions.
