Engines
snow Plow prep packages is no longer an available option on 2013 F-150 with 3.5L GTDI, 5.0L and 3.7L engines
have Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS). EPAS places high transient load on the vehicles electrical systems
which was designed and sized to handle this requirement. Charging system performance may be affected if snow
plow equipment is installed on a vehicle with EPAS, resulting in temporary function loss of some electrical features.
