To support heavy electrical loads from plow rigs or work site accessories, it also features a 410 amp dual alternator and a heavy-duty dual battery system, alongside a Class V tow rating and trailer sway control for effortless hauling.
Smart Technology for the Modern Worksite
While this truck is built to work, it does not compromise on modern convenience and connectivity. The cabin features the SYNC 4 infotainment system with an 8-inch center touchscreen display, offering seamless control over your media and vehicle settings. With smart device wireless mirroring, you can easily connect your smartphone to access navigation, playlists, and hands-free calls. The integrated 5G modem provides a mobile hotspot through the Ford Connectivity Package, keeping you connected to your team or family even when working in remote locations.
