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 helps prevent movement
and contact of the fully installed camper with the pickup box headboard or taillight rear pillars
• Be sure to measure your slide-in camper before attempting to install it onto the bed of the truck. Some
campers may require a platform in the bed of the truck to make sure the cabover portion of the camper
clears the roof of the truck cab
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 are calculated for each individual truck based on vehicle options
• 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, shown in the following charts is maximum allowable, assuming weight of a base
vehicle with required camper option content and a passenger (150-lbs. per) at each available seating
position (6.0L Diesel ratings also assume weight of engine and standard transmission). Cargo weight
rating shown must be further reduced by weight of powertrain upgrades and any other options. Option
weights and center-of-gravity information are available in the Ford Pickup Truck Consumer Information
Sheet

2007 CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING
TRAILER TOWING TIPS
ACCELERATION AND PASSING
• The added weight of the trailer can dramatically decrease the acceleration of the towing vehicle —
exercise caution
• 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 up slowly, with someone outside at rear of trailer to guide you
• Place one hand at bottom of steering wheel and move it in the direction you want the trailer to go
• Make small steering inputs — slight movement of steering wheel results in much greater movement in
rear of trailer
BEFORE STARTING
• Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing up your trailer in an area away from
heavy traffic
BRAKING
• Allow considerably more distance for stopping with trailer attached
• Remember, the braking system of the tow vehicle is rated for operation at the GVWR not GCWR
• If your tow vehicle is a Super Duty model and your trailer has electric brakes, the optional integrated
Trailer Brake Controller will help assure smooth, effective trailer braking by automatically proportioning
the trailer brake pressure to that of the towing vehicle
• If your trailer starts to sway, apply brake pedal gradually. Do NOT use the sliding lever on the trailer
brake controller to try to correct sway—it is designed only for manual activation of trailer brakes to
assist with proper adjustment of the gain. See the vehicle Owner Guide for details
DOWNGRADES AND UPGRADES
• Downshifting assists braking on downgrades and provides added power at the drive wheels for climbing
hills
DRIVING WITH AN AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION
• With certain compact truck automatic overdrive transmissions, towing - especially in hilly areas - may
result in excessive shifting between overdrive and the next lower gear
• If this occurs, it is recommended that the overdrive gear be locked out to eliminate the condition and
provide steadier performance (see vehicle’s Owner Guide for information)
• When there is no excessive shifting, use the overdrive gear for optimum fuel economy
• Overdrive gear may be locked out to obtain engine braking on downgrades
DRIVING WITH SPEED CONTROL
• When driving uphill 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 resume manual control through the vehicles accelerator pedal until the terrain levels off
FRONTAL AREA
• Frontal area is the total area in square feet that a moving vehicle and trailer exposes to air resistance.
The following “Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight” charts show the limitations that must be considered in
selecting a vehicle/trailer combination. Exceeding these limitations may significantly reduce the
performance of your towing vehicle

2007 CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING
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 combination weights (of 2% per 1000 ft. elevation) is
recommended to maintain 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 that uniformly distributes
the trailer tongue loads through the bumper and frame (through the body with Escape; bumper hitch not
available with Escape or Explorer 4-Door)
• Weight Distributing Hitch — Used in conjunction with a hitch platform (receiver), to distribute tongue
load 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 rear step bumpers and hitch receivers provide weight-carrying and 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

(2) Ford rear step bumpers and hitch receivers do not include a hitch ball or ball mounting. 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 it’s cargo load.
(3) 2.5” receiver. Includes 2.5” to 2.0” adapter which when utilized reduces the maximum trailer capacity to 12,500 lbs. and the

2007 CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING
HITCHES (Cont’d)
• Fifth-Wheel Hitch — Is mounted in the pickup box to put more of the trailer weight directly over the
towing vehicle. 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 king pin weight 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
— Trailer wheel lug nuts for tightness
• Check engine oil and coolant level regularly
PARKING WITH TRAILER
• When ever possible, 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 Loaded 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

2007 CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING
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 OR FIFTH-WHEEL KING PIN WEIGHT
• A critical measurement that must be made before towing. It refers to the amount of the trailer’s weight
that presses down on the trailer hitch. Too much tongue load or king pin weight 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 can be severely decreased. Too little tongue load or king
pin weight can reduce rear-wheel traction and cause instability which may result in tail wagging or
jackknifing
• For towing trailers up to 2000 lbs., the maximum tongue load should not exceed 200 lbs.
• For conventional trailers over 2000 lbs., the tongue load should be 10-15% of loaded trailer weight
• For fifth-wheel trailers, the king pin weight should be 15-25% of loaded trailer weight
• Be sure the addition of tongue load or king pin weight does not cause the key towing vehicle weight
limits (GVWR and Rear GAWR) to be exceeded. Remember, GVWR and GAWR are found on the
vehicles Safety Compliance Certification Label. If either of these limits is exceeded, you should go with
a larger vehicle or a smaller trailer
• To measure actual tongue load or king pin weight, disconnect the trailer and place only the tongue (king
pin) on a scale (at hitch ball or fifth-wheel king pin receiver height). If the tongue load/king pin weight
exceeds the upper weight limit, move more of the trailer contents rearward to achieve the
recommended tongue load/king pin weight. If the tongue load/king pin weight 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 or the RV & Trailer Towing 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
• Many states require a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of more than 1,500
pounds. For your safety, Ford Motor Company recommends that a separate functional brake system be
used on any towed vehicle, including those dolly-towed or towbar-towed
• There are two basic types of brake systems designed to activate trailer brakes:
— Electronically Controlled Brakes — Usually provide automatic and manual control of trailer brakes.
They require that the vehicle be equipped with a controlling device and additional wiring for electrical
power. These brakes typically have a control box installed within reach of the driver and can be
applied manually or automatically
— Surge Brakes — Independent hydraulic brakes activated by a master cylinder at the junction of the
hitch and trailer tongue. They are not controlled by the hydraulic fluid in the tow vehicle’s brake
system, and the tow vehicles hydraulic system should never be connected directly to the trailer’s
hydraulic system
• Be sure your trailer brakes conform to all applicable state regulations
TRAILER LAMPS
• Make sure the trailer is equipped with lights that conform to all applicable government 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 heavyduty flashers

• 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 or King Pin Weight)
• 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
VEHICLE SELECTION
• If you are selecting a vehicle that will be used for towing, you should determine the approximate weight
of the trailer you intend to tow, including the weight of any additional cargo and fluids that you will be
carrying in the trailer. Also be sure the vehicle has the proper optional equipment
• Performance can be severely compromised in hilly terrain when minimum acceptable powertrain
combination is selected. It is wise to consider purchasing a vehicle with a more powerful engine for hilly
terrain
• After you select a vehicle, before heading out on a trip (remember, do not tow a trailer until your vehicle
has been driven at least 500 miles), be sure to have your fully loaded vehicle (including passengers)
and trailer weighed so as not to exceed critical weight limits (listed on pages 9-10). If any of these limits
are exceeded, cargo should be removed from the vehicle and/or trailer until all weights are within the
specified limits

2007 CAMPER/TRAILER TOWING
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 load or king pin weight also is 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 vehicle can handle without risking costly damage. The measured GCW must
never exceed the GCWR. (Important: The towing vehicle’s brake system is rated for 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 (including tongue load or king pin weight) plus passengers.
It is important to remember that GVW is not a limit or specification...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 (including passengers and cargo). The
vehicle’s measured GVW must never exceed the GVWR
• The GVWR along with other weight limits, as well as tire, rim size and inflation pressure data 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
• As shown in the trailer towing charts, is the highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer the vehicle
can tow, based on a minimum towing vehicle GVW. It assumes a towing vehicle with any mandatory
options, no cargo, tongue load of 10-15 percent (conventional trailer) or king pin weight of 15 to 25
percent (fifth-wheel trailer) and the driver only (150 lbs.). F-Series Super Duty Chassis Cab models also
assume a second-unit body weight of 1,000 pounds. Weight of additional options, passengers, cargo
and hitch must be deducted from this weight. The addition of trailer tongue load or king pin weight
cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed the rear GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) or GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). These ratings can be found on each vehicles Safety Compliance Certification
Label

NOTE: Maximum loaded trailer weights shown above assume a second-unit body weight of 1000 lbs. (Refer to page 9 for definition and assumptions).
F-350 DRW and F-450-F-550 weights are for 140.8″ wheelbase models. For 164.8″, 188.8″ and 200.8″ wheelbase models, weights may be somewhat
less (usually 200 pounds with 164.8″ and 188.8″ wheelbase or 400 pounds with 200.8″ wheelbase). Be sure the combined weight of your vehicle and
trailer does not exceed the listed Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR).
NOTE: Trailer king pin weight should be 15-25% of total loaded trailer weight. Make sure vehicle payload (reduced by option weight) will accommodate
trailer king pin weight and weight of passengers and cargo added to the towing vehicle. Addition of trailer king pin weight, and weight of passengers and
cargo cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed the rear GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) or GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). These ratings can

NOTE: Maximum loaded trailer weights shown above assume a second-unit body weight of 1000 lbs. (Refer to page 9 for definition and assumptions).
Be sure the combined weight of your vehicle and trailer does not exceed the listed Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR).
NOTE: Trailer king pin weight should be 15-25% of total loaded trailer weight. Make sure vehicle payload (reduced by option weight) will accommodate
trailer king pin weight and weight of passengers and cargo added to the towing vehicle. Addition of trailer king pin weight, and weight of passengers and
cargo cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed the rear GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) or GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). These ratings can
be found on the vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Label.
NOTE: To determine conventional towing maximum trailer weights for Chassis Cab, subtract weight of completed, fully loaded vehicle (including passengers) from GCWR. Weight of fully loaded vehicle and trailer must not exceed GCWR. Ford Motor Company does not offer a factory-installed hitch
receiver for Chassis Cab applications.
NOTE: Ford Motor Company does not offer a factory-installed fifth-wheel hitch.

NOTE: Maximum loaded trailer weights shown above assume a second-unit body weight of 1000 lbs. (Refer to page 9 for definition and assumptions).
Trailer weights shown are for 176.2″ wheelbase models. For 200.2″ wheelbase models, weights may be somewhat less (usually 200 pounds with F-350
or 100 pounds with F-450-550). Be sure the combined weight of your vehicle and trailer does not exceed the listed Gross Combination Weight Rating
(GCWR).
NOTE: Trailer king pin weight should be 15-25% of total loaded trailer weight. Make sure vehicle payload (reduced by option weight) will accommodate
trailer king pin weight and weight of passengers and cargo added to the towing vehicle. Addition of trailer king pin weight, and weight of passengers and
cargo cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed the rear GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) or GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). These ratings can
be found on the vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Label.
NOTE: To determine conventional towing maximum trailer weights for Chassis Cab, subtract weight of completed, fully loaded vehicle (including passengers) from GCWR. Weight of fully loaded vehicle and trailer must not exceed GCWR. Ford Motor Company does not offer a factory-installed hitch
receiver for Chassis Cab applications.
NOTE: Ford Motor Company does not offer a factory-installed fifth-wheel hitch.
