Ford could have missed updating there documentation with all the new higher GVWRs.
I'm interested to see a 7.3 F-350 with the 11,900 GVWR. I think that will tell us if it's just diesels or anything > 11,500 GVWR...

My 2020 CCSB 6.7 with adaptive steering and trailer assist is vacuum assist, so most likely payload.

I have one on the way, may be a month before it gets here. I will look and see what it has if nobody else has posted by then!

Do the non hydro boost assist trucks get the pressure transducer for the trailer brakes?

Looks like any payload over 11,500 is the determinant to receive hydroboost.

Looks like even a paper derate means you don’t get the hydro boost. Can anyone with a 2020+ srw cclb 6.7 with 11,400 gvw check to see if they have vacuum or hydro?

Would hydro boost be a worthy upgrade or not worth the cost? On a truck that didn’t come with it.

I just had a 2021 F350 CCLB 6.7 as a loaner, it was optioned with the derate as most of them the dealers order are. There was no hydroboost, it was vacuum assist.
