2018 Ford F-150 Truck | Capability Features | Ford Afghanistan
NEVER ROLL BACK
Standard in all F-150s, Hill Start Assist prevents roll back on a grade by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the F-150.
TRICKY MANEUVERS MADE EASY
Backing up a trailer involves navigating two vehicles at the same time – the truck going one way and the trailer going in the opposite direction. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro at this often tricky maneuver, the available class-exclusive* Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ makes it as easy as turning a knob.** Simply rotate the knob left or right in the direction you want the trailer to go. The F-150 is the first pickup truck to offer this breakthrough feature.
*Class is full-size pickups under 3,856 kg. GVWR based on Ford segmentation.
**Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.

RIGHT IN FRONT YOU
The available 8" LCD Productivity Screen provides useful information from fuel economy to towing data, all right in front of you on the instrument cluster. You can create a customized home screen using six menu options—My View, Trip/Fuel, Truck Info, Towing, Off-Road and Settings — and access your most frequently used screens in one place. Standard in the 2018 F-150 LARIAT, King Ranch®, Platinum and Limited.
DYNAMIC SIGHT.
The available 360-degree camera with split-view display* uses four cameras – one in the grille, tailgate, and under each of the sideview mirrors. The system enables you to see all sides of the truck by stitching the images together and displaying them on a center stack screen. It’s useful when maneuvering in tight spaces and on trails. Also helpful is the included Hitch Assist feature that provides a dynamic sight line to help direct your hitch ball to the trailer receiver.
*Cameras only operate at speeds under 6 miles per hour. Driver-Assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.

*Requires phone with active data service and compatible software. SYNC®3 does not control 3rd party products while in use. 3rd parties are solely responsible for their respective functionality.

ENHANCED ALERT
Available BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) signals you in the outside mirror when a vehicle is detected in a blind spot — and provides coverage for the truck you’re driving as well as the trailer you’re towing. The Cross Traffic Alert feature can detect a vehicle passing behind when you’re slowly backing out of a driveway or parking place.
*Driver Assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.
CRUISE IN CONTROL
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go technology* allows you to set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. When activated, the Stop-and-Go feature automatically accelerates and brakes your truck while maintaining your preset distance. The Stop-and-Go technology can bring your vehicle to a complete stop in stopped traffic and resume as traffic begins to move.**
