True Believers

Eaton’s Mobility Group is expanding its aftermarket Detroit Truetrac differential portfolio by adding a pair of new differentials that fit the 8.8-inch front and rear axles of the 2015-2022 Ford F-150. Eaton’s aftermarket team will introduce the new Truetrac at the SEMA Show, October 31-November 3, 2023, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It will be available at Eaton’s U.S. distribution centers in Q1 2024.

“Eaton’s aftermarket team continues to listen to feedback from our customers as we add additional products for vehicles operating in North America. We are excited to launch a Truetrac for F-150 trucks with 8.8-inch axles, and expand our performance differential portfolio,” said Jason Denardo, product manager, Aftermarket, Eaton’s Mobility Group. “This Truetrac will allow F-150 owners to easily improve their truck’s traction and performance.”

The Detroit Truetrac is a helical-gear style, limited-slip differential that maximizes wheel traction and enhances driving characteristics. Maintenance-free, it features smooth, automatic operation in forward and reverse.

Truetrac operates as a standard differential under normal driving conditions, allowing for unobtrusive operation. When a wheel encounters a loss of traction or the terrain changes, the helical-shaped gears mesh with increasing force, transferring torque to the high-traction wheel until wheel spin is slowed or completely stopped. When the vehicle exits the low traction situation, the differential seamlessly resumes normal operation.
