Angry ginger Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Nice looking truck. I've gotten a bit happier with my F150, fuckers had the tires blown up to 42 psi, when i took it back to the 35 Ford wants its ride got better. Still sucks at 85 that the fuel economy is so bad, they need trans programmers who aren't left lane 2 mile an hour over the limit midwesterners. with 10 speeds no need to spin the motor more than 1500 rpm at 85. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckers from MI, IN and OH love to drive 2 over in the left lane on I80. only worse drivers may be from Rhode Island. I like massholes, drive fast, drive aggressive and get where you are going. If you watch the shifts half the gears are never actually used with any consistency. i think 6th is1-1 so there are 4 overdrive gears not hard to spread them out a bit more. GM engineers did a much better job programming their version, still harsh on certain up and downshifts on the Ford, smooth as silk on my coworkers tahoe.

I drive that slow only when caravanning with my daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple TSB's on it and they are working on a class action lawsuit over it. I asked the dealer to do any software updates when it was there last week, hope that helps.

I'll tolerate it till next summer then look for a RAM or a GM I think. GM interior is just as trash as the fords but it gets better economy and ride. The Ram looks like an old mans rig but at least the interior and ride are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as GM shit the GM programming on the early 6 speed trucks was beyond bad then the 14's had all sort of shake and shimmy issues. Pinnacle of 1/2 ton GM trucks was the 06 with the 6.0 4 spd. looking back i should have kept my last avalanche, prob would have gone 300k miles and was comfortable as hell if i kept the rust away.

Her husband took the F150 when she got the 21 Tahoe decided he didn't like it and traded it on a Ram 2500 with the 6.4 last weekend. That thing prob gets better fuel economy than a EB the fuel economy will not be why i dump it, i can live with that and the $ lost on trades not worth it. I was just hoping to love it and I don't.
