CONNECTING A TRAILER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not adjust the spring
bars so that your vehicle's rear bumper
is higher than before attaching the trailer.
Doing so will defeat the function of the
weight-distributing hitch, which may
cause unpredictable handling, and could
result in serious personal injury.
Do not tow a trailer until you drive your
vehicle at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km).
Consult your local motor vehicle laws for
towing a trailer.
See the instructions included with towing
accessories for the proper installation and
adjustment specifications.
Service your vehicle more frequently if you
tow a trailer. See
Normal Scheduled
Maintenance (page 625).
If you use a rental trailer, follow the
instructions the rental agency gives you.
When attaching the trailer wiring connector
to your vehicle, only use a proper fitting
connector that works with the vehicle and
trailer functions.
Account for the trailer coupler weight as
part of your vehicle load when calculating
the total vehicle weight.
Do not exceed the load limits. See
Calculating the Load Limit
(page 314). HITCHES
INSTALLING A HITCH WARNING:
You must use the
heavy-duty drawbar pin supplied with
your vehicle when using the heavy-duty
hitch. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
Do not use a hitch that either clamps onto
the bumper or attaches to the axle. You
must distribute the load in your trailer so
that 10-15% for conventional towing or
15-25% for fifth wheel towing of the total
weight of the trailer is on the tongue. Do
not exceed the tongue load rating
indicated on the conventional hitch
receiver.
Note: On pick-up trucks, the trailer hitch
provided on this vehicle enhances crash
protection for the fuel system. Do not
remove!
Hitch Components
The following components are required.
Some are provided in certain vehicles.
• A trailer hitch with a 3 inch receiver and
a 5/8 inch hitch pin. Check the
stamped rating number on the pin to
determine the
21,200 lb (9,616 kg) or
24,200 lb (10,976 kg) hitch pin
capacity.
• A hitch pin sleeve stored in the glove
box to use when mounting the 3 inch
drawbar with the 3/4 inch pin hole.
• A cotter pin to help keep the hitch pin
in place.

2022 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202103, First-Printing Connecting a Trailer

Installing a 3 Inch Drawbar with
3/4 Inch Pin Hole
The pin sleeve should be inserted in the
3/4 inch pin hole of the 3 inch drawbar.
Remove reducers before inserting the 3
inch drawbar. Insert the drawbar into hitch
receiver. Put the 5/8 inch hitch pin through pin hole.
Place the cotter pin around the neck of
hitch pin.
HOOKING UP A TRAILER USING A
WEIGHT-DISTRIBUTING HITCH
WARNING: Do not adjust the spring
bars so that your vehicle's rear bumper
is higher than before attaching the trailer.
Doing so will defeat the function of the
weight-distributing hitch, which may
cause unpredictable handling, and could
result in serious personal injury.
A weight-distributing hitch helps distribute
tongue load to all towing vehicle and trailer
wheels. For more information, visit the links
in the following table.

FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER HITCH
Your vehicle has a fifth-wheel prep
package. This package enables your
vehicle to accept certain fifth-wheel trailer
hitches and gooseneck ball hitches. The
fifth-wheel trailer hitch attaches to the four
mounting pads in the pick-up bed. A 7-pin
trailer wiring connector could be in the bed
as well. The gooseneck ball hitch is a
separate mounting pad from the
fifth-wheel hitch in the center of the bed.
Shorter pick-up boxes provide less
clearance between the cab and the
fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailer
compared to longer box pick-ups. When
selecting a trailer and tow vehicle, it is
critical to check that this combination
provides clearance between the front of
the trailer and tow vehicle for turns up to
90°. Failure to follow this recommendation
could result in the trailer contacting the
cab of the tow vehicle during tight turns
that are typical during low-speed parking
and turning maneuvers. This contact could
result in damage to the trailer and tow
vehicle.
Note: Contact an authorized dealer to
purchase gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches
that are compatible with your vehicle.
Note: The mounting pads in the bed are
specifically designed for certain fifth-wheel
trailer hitches and gooseneck ball hitches.
Do not use these mounting pads for other
purposes. CONNECTING A TRAILER
Recognizing a Trailer
1.
Attach the trailer and wiring connector
to your vehicle.
2. Switch on your vehicle.
3. Set up a profile for the trailer using the
instrument cluster display.
Note: If your vehicle does not recognize the
trailer, press and hold the brake pedal for a
few seconds.
Note: Trailer profiles store trailer types,
dimensions, preferences, trailer specific
mileage and fuel economy.
Note: Disabling the trailer detection
notification makes the default trailer profile
active when a connection is detected. When attaching the trailer wiring connector
to your vehicle, only use a proper fitting
connector that works with the vehicle and
trailer functions.

Trailer Light Check
WARNING: Never connect any
trailer lamp wiring to the vehicle's tail
lamp wiring; this may damage the
electrical system resulting in fire. Contact
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible for assistance in proper trailer
tow wiring installation. Additional
electrical equipment may be required.
Most towed vehicles require trailer lamps.
Make sure all running lights, brake lights,
turn signals and hazard lights are working.
Safety Chains
Install trailer safety chains to the trailer
hitch as recommended by the
manufacturer. Cross the chains under the
trailer coupler and allow enough slack for
turning tight corners. Do not allow the
chains to drag on the ground. Note:
Do not attach safety chains to the
bumper. Always connect the safety chains
to the frame or hook retainers of your trailer
hitch. If the trailer safety chain hook has a latch,
make sure to fully close the latch.
