Trailer Sway Control

Great vid. I believe that the Raptor has this as standard equipment (not to be confused with Trailer Brake Controller). Cool!

I double checked and this system IS standard on all F-15 series trucks. Gay... Smay.... we're Ford men!

Body lotion user, eh?

I had trailer sway control activate out in Anza Borrego when I forgot to turn all the bull**** off when offroading. It was pretty funny. Was like, what trailer...WTF truck?

So why do the marines give the navy powdered soap?
Takes longer to pick up...

Why do the navy have their names on the butts of their uniforms?
Marines got to know who they are.... HELLO!

sorry could not resist.

Aim HIGH! (like on her chest)

Can anyone confirm the following? Are these two statements correct?

1. Trailer Sway Control can still come on even after the AdvanceTrac button is pushed once

2. Trailer Sway Control is disengaged when the AdvanceTrac button is pressed and held

Bonus question: Is there any other way to disengage Trailer Sway Control?

Bonus question: Is there any other way to disengage Trailer Sway Control?

1. Yes it can still come on because ESC is still active. (Trailer Brake Control is a subset of ESC) Pressing the Advancetrac button ONCE only disables traction control and not ESC. (see my post a couple posts above- I had this issue when in Anza when I ONLY had the button pressed, not held down)

2. Yes, TSC (Trailer Sway Control) is disengaged when the button is pressed and held, because ESC is then disabled.

Bonus question answers:

Using the MESSAGE CENTER in the dash with the odometer button, go to SETUP.

TRAILER SWAY (if equipped)
This feature uses the electronic stability control to mitigate trailer sway, Press the SELECT/RESET stem to turn trailer sway on or off.


Also, when the truck is in 4LO - trailer sway is disabled. (along with ESC)

Trailer sway is not functional under 40MPH.

Trailer Sway Control is not functional in Reverse.

Bonus bonus question:

When turning off Trailer Sway Control through the Message Center, is the TSC shut off until the ingition is turned off and then it automatically resets to on with the next engine start?
