09 F-SERIES SUPER DUTY ®
TOWING TECH
FACTORY-INTEGRATED SYSTEMS 1 : These optional factory-installed
systems are designed to help keep you in control of your Super
Duty and trailer when towing. The first fully integrated Trailer Brake
Controller (TBC) in the class
1 integrates with the Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) 2 . The TorqShift® automatic transmission with Tow/
Haul Mode 3 and telescoping trailer tow mirrors 4 round out the
group. When activated, these components work together to make
towing seem effortless. Developed and refined for years, these are
the most experienced factory-installed towing systems available on
a heavy-duty pickup.
A. REAR VIEW CAMERA: This amazing feature makes trailer hookup a snap.
It includes a camera mounted in the tailgate handle bezel and a video
display with distance graphic mounted in the auto-dimming rearview
mirror. Available with rearview mirror display or in-dash-integrated
display with Navigation Radio option. (Shown.)
B. INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER: The optional TBC 2 uses
braking input, vehicle speed and ABS logic to balance the performance
of the truck brakes and electric trailer brakes. A user-friendly display
indicates output and gain levels, trailer connection status, and has a
disconnect alarm with message center warnings. Its design eliminates
the unsightly wiring and mounting of aftermarket units. (Optional on XL;
Standard on XLT and above.)
C. CLASS-EXCLUSIVE POWERSCOPE TM TRAILER TOW MIRRORS: Designed
specifically for Super Duty, these optional large mirrors adjust, fold and
telescope almost 3" at the touch of a switch. They include heated glass,
integrated turn signals and clearance lamps. The manually adjustable
spotter mirror provides expanded visibility. No other mirror in the class
offers this much functionality and convenience. (Optional on XLT;
Standard on FX4 and above.)
1 Trailer Brake Controller standard on XLT, FX4, LARIAT; optional on XL. Tow/Haul Mode
standard on all models with automatic transmissions.
2 TBC verified to be compatible
with electric drum brakes only.
