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&#8217;re going down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"btn custom-btn\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/new-ford-super-duty-f-350-srw-sherwood-park-ab\">Our F-350 Super Duty Inventory<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>What is the Engine-Exhaust Brake?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Engine-Exhaust Brake has become an integral part of the Super Duty&#8217;s turbocharger. When activated, the engine brake will automatically adjust the vanes on the exhaust side of the turbocharger. This generates engine pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Engine-Exhaust Brake is engaged, extra braking power will require less manual brake application. This is especially helpful when traveling on downhill grades. This provides extra control over the truck and trailer while driving downhill. The system maintains control over the truck and trailer at a steady pace. This reduces the amount of time spent using the truck&#8217;s brakes, which in turn helps reduce the need for maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"one_half\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8305 size-full alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/10\/02193900\/PowerStroke-Diesel_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"6.7L Power Stroke\u00ae Turbo Diesel Engine-Exhaust Braking 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel Engine\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/10\/02193900\/PowerStroke-Diesel_o-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/10\/02193900\/PowerStroke-Diesel_o-1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"one_half_last\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8307 size-full alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/10\/02193918\/SuperDuty-Towing_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"6.7L Power Stroke\u00ae Turbo Diesel Engine-Exhaust Braking Super Duty Towing Trailer Uphill\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/10\/02193918\/SuperDuty-Towing_o-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/10\/02193918\/SuperDuty-Towing_o-1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-black-background-color has-background\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/clp-new-ford-f-series-super-duty\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-1024x395.jpg\" alt=\"Super Duty truck on white background\" class=\"wp-image-13270 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-1024x395.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/clp-new-ford-f-series-super-duty\">Learn more about the Ford Super Duty<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"one_half\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2017 Super Duty Powerstroke Engine-Exhaust Brake Function\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f1b5y7fNazM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"one_half_last\">\n<h3>Test Drive a Super Duty at Sherwood Ford<\/h3>\n<p>If you would like to see this incredible feature in action, come on over to our dealership just East of Edmonton.
