A large truck towing a heavy trailer can be challenging to bring to a halt, which is why the 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty has Diesel Engine Exhaust Braking available for BC drivers. This operator-activated system makes any hauling experience safer and more in control.The Exhaust Braking system comes as a part of the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel Engine. It works by restricting the flow of waste gases to create back pressure that is then used to slow down the truck smoothly—which is especially ideal for heading down slopes.
Furthermore, because you no longer need to press the pedals as often, brake fade and lining wear reductions come along as another bonus. And with three modes—On, Off, or Auto—BC drivers can choose the setting that works best for them.
