The 2010 and 2011 Ford F-Series trucks incorporate myriad braking and traction functions that work in tandem to keep the truck on the road in adverse weather and traffic conditions. Stability control and brake distribution systems complement the brake system.
Basic Specs
All 2011 Ford F-Series trucks feature all-wheel ventilated disc brakes. The F-150 is equipped with 13-inch front discs (rotor diameter) and 13.7-inch rear discs. The F-250 and F-350 models have 13.66-inch front disc brakes and 13.39-inch rear discs. The F-450 model has 14.53-inch front discs and 15.35-inch rear discs.
Supplemental Braking
All Ford F-Series trucks feature an all-wheel antilock braking system (ABS), electronic brake distribution and electronic traction control employed through ABS.
Trailering and Stability
The F-Series also is equipped with an integrated Trailer Brake Controller system (TBC) that synchronizes the truck and trailer brakes. The system comes with Trailer Sway Control (TSC) to prevent trailer sway during hard braking. Ford's "AdvanceTrac Roll Stability Control" system reduces engine power and helps the driver brake the vehicle for control.
