2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT – Trailer Sway Control in Abbotsford

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT trailer sway control system is a built-in safety feature that helps keep you and your passengers safe during towing. It uses sensors to detect when a trailer is starting to fishtail, then automatically releases the brakes of the affected wheel(s) to prevent your vehicle from rolling or swaying.
Trailer sway control works with your vehicle’s stability control system, which monitors how well the vehicle stays on the road. When you begin to turn or brake, stability control is designed to apply the brakes on one side of the vehicle at a time, reducing torque and preventing skidding. Trailer sway control uses this same technology but applies it differently: it applies more brake pressure on one side of the vehicle than others when it senses that there are problems with your tow rig behind you.
The main advantage of the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT trailer sway control over electronic stability control systems is that they can be active only when needed – not all the time, like electronic stability control systems, which constantly monitor your driving habits and apply brakes as needed. This means that your truck does not have to be constantly correcting for every little thing you do on the road, keeping your brakes from getting worn down unnecessarily.
