PTO is Power Take Off Watch as the Super Duty turns into a mobile generator by tapping into the turning power of the transmission to run equipment like snowplows, salt spreaders and powerful work lights. The Super Duty-exclusive Live Drive PTO is designed and factory built by Ford to utilize both mechanical and hydraulic power. Like every other part of this truck, the 2011 Super Duty is quality crafted and tough as nails so you can get the job done.
