Ford's patent application outlines a novel third-axle kit that could be powered by the F-150's gas engine, or by a separate electric motor.

also states that the kit could include a fifth-wheel coupling with a subframe extension, which would give the F-150 near-heavy-duty levels of capability.’s capacities without stepping up to a heavy-duty model and could help Ford grab more profits without changing its production lines. Sleeved extension components give the truck the length it needs to house an extra axle, and Ford’s design drawings show a setup that could accommodate a load-leveling system.

Ford outlined alternate propulsion for the system that could include an electric motor to power the third axle.
