2 CAMPER INFORMATION Slide-in Camper Installation Ford Motor Company recommends that you consult with your camper manufacturer/dealer for details regarding proper installation of your slide-in camper A dimensionally stable block spacer is recommended between the headboard of the pickup box and the forward edge of the camper floor, resting the spacer on the pickup box bed to prevent movement and contact of the fully installed camper with the pickup box headboard or taillight rear pillars Camper Center Of Gravity Information/Location All Styleside pickups that are qualified for slide-in camper bodies will have the camper center-of-gravity included on the Consumer Information Sheet, which is placed in the vehicle s glove box Data is calculated for each individual truck based on options included with the vehicle If the vehicle is not qualified for camper usage, the Consumer Information Sheet will state that the vehicle is not recommended for camper usage, and no center-of-gravity data will be shown Slide-in Camper Selector Combined weight of vehicle, camper body, occupants and cargo must not exceed Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) Cargo Weight Rating is the maximum allowable weight for the camper unit, cargo and options on the vehicle. It assumes the weight of a base vehicle with the required option content and a passenger (150- lbs. per) at each available seating position (7.3L Diesel ratings also assume the weight of the engine and standard transmission). The weight of gas engine upgrades, transmission upgrades, or any other available options must be deducted from the cargo weight rating. Option weights and center-of-gravity information are available in the Ford Pickup Truck Consumer Information Sheet CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING # New or Revised 7/27/01

5 TRAILER TOWING TIPS ACCELERATION AND PASSING The added weight of the trailer can dramatically decrease the acceleration of the towing vehicle, especially if it is at the maximum recommended weight limitation If you must pass a slower vehicle, be sure to allow extra distance. Remember, you also have the added length of the trailer which must clear the other vehicle before you can pull back in Make your pass on level terrain with plenty of clearance If necessary, downshift for improved acceleration BACKING Back very slowly, with someone outside at the rear of the trailer to help guide Place one hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and move it in the direction the trailer should turn Make small corrections instead of exaggerated ones a slight movement of the steering wheel will result in a much larger movement of the rear of the trailer BEFORE STARTING A vehicle will handle and respond differently while towing a trailer Owners who will be towing a trailer should hitch the trailer to their vehicle and practice turning, stopping and backing in an area away from heavy traffic to gain experience in handling the extra weight and length of the trailer BRAKING Towing a trailer will increase the distance needed to stop Allow considerably more distance for stopping when the trailer is attached When approaching a stop, "lead" with the trailer brakes, if possible (with manual brake controller) For correcting trailer side sway, touch the trailer brakes for a moment without using vehicle brakes, and the trailer should settle down and track steadily again DOWNGRADES AND UPGRADES Downshifting assists braking on downgrades and provides added power at the drive wheels for climbing hills DRIVING WITH AN OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION Vehicles equipped with a 5-speed manual overdrive transmission should not use the overdrive gear for trailer towing Vehicles equipped with an Electronic Automatic transmission should operate in Overdrive for best fuel economy When descending a steep grade with a trailer, operate the Electronic Automatic transmission in Overdrive Off for added engine braking. If additional braking is needed, shift into Second gear or low DRIVING WITH SPEED CONTROL When driving uphill, especially with a heavy load, significant speed drops may occur A speed drop of more than 8 to 14 m.p.h. will, by design, cancel the automatic speed control Temporarily use manual control through the vehicles accelerator pedal until the terrain levels off to maintain the selected speed FRONTAL AREA Frontal area is the total area in square feet that a moving vehicle and trailer exposes to air resistance. The following Maximum Trailer Weight charts show the limitations that must be considered in selecting a vehicle/trailer combination. Exceeding these limitations may seriously affect the performance of your towing vehicle # New or Revised 7/27/ CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING 5

6 HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION Gasoline engines lose power at the rate of 3% to 4% per 1000 ft. elevation A reduction in gross vehicle weights and gross combined weights (a recommended 2% per 1000 ft. elevation) will result in improved vehicle performance HITCHES Weight Carrying (Non-Weight Distributing) Hitch Choose a proper hitch and ball and make sure its location is compatible with that of the trailer. Use a good weight carrying hitch which uniformly distributes the trailer tongue loads through the bumper and frame (body with Escape). Ford rear step bumpers and hitch receivers provide weight carrying capacities as shown in the chart below (a label, affixed to the hitch receiver, provides both the weight carrying and weight distributing capacities for each receiver if applicable). The vehicle owner is responsible for obtaining the proper hitch ball, ball mounting and other appropriate equipment to tow both the trailer and the load that will be towed Weight Distributing Hitch Used in conjunction with a hitch platform (receiver), distributes tongue weight to all towing vehicle and trailer wheels. Required for certain Class III and all Class IV applications (Refer to chart below) Weight distributing hitch platforms are welded or bolted to vehicle frame. Bolt-on types are recommended because they can be removed Properly installed bolt-on weight distributing hitch platform will not weaken vehicle or underbody as heat of welding might Equalizing arms are connected from hitch to trailer s A-frame, and are adjusted for best towing performance. Lengths of chain are pulled up and tightened to bend spring bars upward which lifts some of the weight from the rear wheels and transfers weight to the other wheels of the vehicle and trailer Ford hitch receivers provide weight distributing capacities as shown in the chart below (a label, affixed to the hitch receiver, provides both the weight carrying and weight distributing capacities for each receiver). The vehicle owner is responsible for obtaining the proper hitch ball, ball mounting, weight distributing equipment (ie: equalizing arms and snap-up brackets, sway control system) and other appropriate equipment to tow both the trailer and the load that will be towed Ford Rear Step Bumper/Hitch Receiver Weight Capacity WEIGHT CARRYING MAX.

7 HITCHES (Cont d) Fifth-Wheel Hitch The receiver center-line of the hitch should be mounted at least two-inches forward of the rear axle of the truck chassis. This mounting location will distribute the tongue load of the trailer for optimum load carrying and sway control performance. Care must be taken to maintain nominal clearance from the back of the cab to the front of the trailer during tight cornering or backing maneuvers.failure to follow this recommendation can adversely affect the towing vehicle s steering, braking, and handling characteristics ON THE ROAD After traveling about 50 miles or so, stop in a protected location and double check: Trailer hitch attachment Lights and electrical connections Tire pressure Trailer wheel lug nuts for tightness Check engine oil and coolant level regularly PARKING WITH TRAILER Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. However, if it is necessary to park on a grade, place wheel chocks under the trailer's wheels as follows: Apply the foot service brakes and hold Have another person place the wheel chocks under the trailer wheels on the downgrade side Once the wheel chocks are in place, release foot service brakes, making sure that the chocks are holding the vehicle and trailer Apply the parking brake Shift the transmission into P (PARK) with an automatic transmission and make sure it is latched there. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, put the gearshift lever in R (REVERSE) NOTE: With 4-wheel drive, make sure the transfer case is not in N (NEUTRAL) (where applicable). To start, after being parked on a grade: Apply the foot service brake and hold Start the engine with the gearshift selector lever in P (PARK) on automatic transmissions or N (NEUTRAL) on manual transmissions Shift the transmission into gear and release the parking brake Release the foot service brakes and move the vehicle uphill to free the wheel chocks Apply the foot service brakes and hold while another person retrieves the chocks POWERTRAIN CONSIDERATIONS The Maximum Trailer Weight charts in this section show the minimum engine size needed to move the gross combination weight of the tow vehicle and trailer Under certain conditions, however, (e.g., when the trailer has a large frontal area that adds substantial air drag or when trailering in hilly or mountainous terrain) it s wise to choose a larger engine SAFETY CHAINS Always use safety chains when towing. Safety chains are used to retain connection between the towing and towed vehicle in the event of separation of the trailer coupling or ball Cross chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners See your vehicle s Owner Guide for safety chain attachment information When using a frame-mounted trailer hitch, attach the safety chains to the frame-mounted hitch using the recommendations supplied by the hitch manufacturer For rental trailers, follow rental agency instructions for proper hookup of safety chains # New or Revised 7/27/ CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING 7

8 TIRE PRESSURE Underinflated tires get very hot and can lead to tire failures and possible loss of vehicle control Overinflated tires can cause uneven tire wear Tires should be checked often for conformance to cold inflation pressures recommended on the Safety Compliance Certification Label for original equipment tires TONGUE LOAD The amount of the trailer s weight that presses down on the trailer hitch. Too much tongue load can cause suspension/drivetrain damage, and can press the vehicle down in back causing the front wheels to lift to the point where traction, steering response and braking are severely decreased. Too little tongue load can reduce rear-wheel traction and cause instability which may result in tail wagging or jackknifing For towing trailers up to 2000 lbs. gross loaded weight, the maximum tongue load should not exceed 200 lbs. For towing trailers over 2000 lbs., the tongue load should be 10-15% of trailer weight For fifth-wheel trailers, the tongue load should be approximately 25% of trailer weight To measure actual tongue load, disconnect the trailer and place only the tongue, with the coupler at hitch ball height, on a scale. If the tongue load exceeds the upper weight limit, move more of the trailer contents rearward to achieve the recommended tongue load. If the tongue load is less than the lower limit, shift the load forward TOWING A VEHICLE BEHIND A MOTORHOME For safe operation, towed vehicles, or dollies or trailers carrying them, should be equipped with a separate functional brake system See your vehicle s Owner Guide for truck models that can be towed with all four wheels down without speed or distance restrictions, or without disconnecting the driveshaft TRAILER BRAKES Most states require brakes on trailers weighing over 1500 lbs. when loaded. For your safety, Ford Motor Company urges that a separate functional brake system be used on any towed vehicle, including those dolly-towed or towbar-towed There are basically three types of trailer brake activation: Electronically Controlled Electric Provides automatic and manual control of electric trailer brakes. Requires the vehicle to be equipped with a controlling device, and additional wiring to supply the electrical power Hydraulically Controlled Electric Trailer brakes are applied in proportion to brake pedal pressure. Trailer brake system should not be connected directly to vehicle s brake system Surge (Hydraulic) Independent hydraulic brakes activated by a master cylinder at the junction of the hitch and trailer tongue Be sure your trailer brakes conform to Federal and local regulations TRAILER LAMPS Make sure the trailer is equipped with lights that conform to Federal and local regulations. Do not connect a trailer lighting system directly to the lighting system of the vehicle. See a local recreational vehicle dealer or rental trailer agency for correct wiring and relays for the trailer and heavy-duty flashers TRAILER WIRING HARNESS Vehicles equipped with a factory-installed Trailer Towing Package include a wiring harness and a wiring kit This kit is packaged in a cardboard box and includes one jumper harness (to connect to your trailer wiring connector) and installation instructions CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING # New or Revised 7/27/01

9 WEIGHT CONSIDERATIONS Probably the single most critical factor in trailer towing is weight, since overloading a vehicle can put you in danger by reducing braking capability. It also places undue stress on components and can lead to shortened service life or failure. And, you must always remember that added weight of the trailer decreases the acceleration of the towing vehicle WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION For optimum handling, the trailer must be properly loaded and balanced Keep center-of-gravity low for best handling Approximately 60% of the cargo weight should be in the front half of the trailer and 40% in the rear (within limits of Tongue Load) Load should also be balanced from side to side for good handling and proper tire wear Load must be firmly secured to prevent shifting during cornering or braking, which could result in a sudden loss of control # New or Revised 7/27/ CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING 9

10 TRAILER TOWING WEIGHT DEFINITIONS BASE CURB WEIGHT Weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo or any optional equipment CARGO WEIGHT Includes all weight added to the Base Curb Weight including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer tongue weight is also part of the Cargo Weight GROSS AXLE WEIGHT (GAW) The total weight placed on each axle (front and rear). To determine The Gross Axle Weights for your vehicle and trailer combination, take your loaded vehicle and trailer to a scale. With the trailer attached, place the front wheels of the vehicle on the scale to get the front GAW. To get the rear GAW, weigh the towing vehicle with trailer attached, but with just the four wheels of the vehicle on the scale. You get the rear GAW by subtracting the front GAW from that amount GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) The total weight each axle (front and rear) is capable of carrying. These numbers are shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label, located on the left front door lock facing or the door latch post pillar. The total load on each axle (GAW) must never exceed its GAWR GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT (GCW) The weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer. It is the actual weight obtained when the vehicle and trailer are weighed together on a scale GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATING (GCWR) The maximum allowable weight of the towing vehicle and the loaded trailer (including all cargo and passengers) that the powertrain can handle without risking costly damage. The measured GCW must never exceed the GCWR. (Important: The towing vehicle s brake system is rated for safe operation at the GVWR not GCWR. Separate functional brake systems should be used for safe control of towed vehicles and for trailers weighing more than 1,500 lbs. when loaded) GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT (GVW) Base Curb Weight plus actual Cargo Weight plus passengers. It is the actual weight that is obtained when the fully loaded vehicle is driven onto a scale GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) The maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle (Base Curb Weight plus options plus cargo plus passengers). The vehicle s measured GVW must never exceed the GVWR The GVWR along with other maximum safe vehicle weights, as well as tire, rim size and inflation pressure are shown on the vehicle s Safety Compliance Certification Label, located on the left front door lock facing or the door latch post pillar MAXIMUM LOADED TRAILER WEIGHT Is the highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. It assumes a towing vehicle with mandatory options, no cargo and the driver only (150 lbs.). The weight of additional optional equipment, passengers, cargo and hitch must be deducted from this weight PAYLOAD Combined, maximum allowable weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is designed to carry. It is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating minus the Base Curb Weight REQUIRED MINIMUM EQUIPMENT Equipment deemed essential to assure that the vehicle includes the necessary powertrain and suspension components to meet the additional ride, handling and performance requirements of hauling atrailer CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING # New or Revised 7/27/01
