Power Take off provision

What is this?

I was on the Ford website pricing an '05 PSD, and saw the power take off provision (I don't recall what the charge for it was, and it doesn't matter I guess), and was sort of stummped as to what this might be.

Does it have something to do with the gearing?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am unable to do a search of the site, due to restricted access rights or something.

Thanks!

Jeff

Power takeoff provision is nothing more than a secondary provisional gear output on the side of the transmission case for the installation of a power take-off unit. These units are for to provide direct drive power to auxilliary air compressors, generators, or hydraulic units for wreckers, slidebacks, crane trucks, ect.

Well, that explains that! (and quite informatively I might add).

Seeing as how this will be a commuter/weekend warrior truck, I reckon I don't need that!

Thanks PSD for the quick response!
