How Does the Engine-Exhaust Brake Work?

6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel Engine-Exhaust Braking

In order to help your Super Duty perform with better handling and control while towing down hills, Ford has upgraded its innovative Smart Exhaust Brake function.

When you choose a Ford Super Duty vehicle, you know that you’re getting the most trusted name in heavy duty pickup trucks. We all know the power and unbeatable control the Ford Super Duty equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke provides while going uphill, advances in technology have made going downhill just as easy. Thanks to many years of testing and perfecting, the engineers at Ford have developed a system that is capable of keeping your truck and trailer under control no matter how steep of an incline you’re going down.

What is the Engine-Exhaust Brake?

The Engine-Exhaust Brake has become an integral part of the Super Duty’s turbocharger. When activated by flipping a switch located at the top left of the centre stack, the engine brake will automatically adjust the vanes on the exhaust side of the turbocharger in order to generate engine pressure.

While the Engine-Exhaust Brake is on, extra braking power will require less manual brake application, especially while travelling on downhill grades. This provides extra control of the truck and the trailer while you’re driving downhill. By keeping the truck and trailer under control at a steady pace, the system reduces the amount of time spent using the truck’s brakes, which in turn helps to reduce needed maintenance.
