5-speed Automatic Overdrive with Tow/Haul
Optional on all Super Duty Pickups with gasoline or diesel engines
Torque converter design maximizes low-speed torque output
All-new more robust gear sets and a three-plate two-stage torque converter help
reduce turbine noise when the converter is locked
Large fluid pump provides superior lubrication and cooling
Pure electronic shift controls work with the Electronic Throttle Control of the engine to
optimize shifts and vehicle performance and responsiveness
When hauling a heavy load or trailer, the Tow/Haul mode reduces gear hunting,
improves power delivery and even uses engine braking to help control vehicle speed
when descending hills
Transmission can be equipped with power
takeoff port — must specify order code
62R (PTO obstructed by catalyst
placement on 5.4L and 6.8L engines)
6-speed Manual Overdrive
Standard with all Super Duty

Pickup engines
First five gears provide optimum
close-ratio performance
Overdrive 6th gear reduces
engine rpm at highway speeds,
adding to vehicle fuel economy
and quiet operation
Features a standard
transmission cooler

Auxiliary Power Features
Transmission Power Takeoff (PTO) Provision
A power takeoff (PTO) provision is an added benefit for
customers with specific power needs
Allows upfitters to supply power to hydraulically driven
accessories such as dump bodies, sprayers, pumps,
generators, etc.
Option code 62R must be ordered to get a PTO gear
and port with the TorqShift 5-speed automatic transmission
6-speed manual overdrive transmission has a PTO gear
and port standard
The optional upfitter switches may be used as PTO
control switch(es)
NOTES: Power takeoff (PTO) obstructed by catalyst placement on
5.4L- and 6.8L-equipped vehicles.
Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC)
Acts as the “throttle kicker,” when increased engine speed
is needed
Consists of strategy embedded in the powertrain control
module (PCM) and a set of blunt-cut wires to command it
Selling dealer will need to obtain a PTO controller or
switch from the aftermarket
NOTE: Option 66S, “Upfitter Switches,” one of which may be
used as a PTO switch.
• Engine speeds
910 to 2400 rpm (5.4L and 6.8L gasoline engines)
1200 to 2400 rpm (6.4L diesel engine)
Automatically locks the torque converter
Gives power to the PTO gear for the TorqShift automatic
transmission when the operator turns on the PTO switch
