Yep. Sorry my friend but this is operator error. Your truck is holding a gear to anticipate your next move whether its slowing down or continuing up another hill. Maintain steady throttle and itll upshift. Operating the truck within the rated parameters is not harmful. Being at 4-6k RPM is not...
I think some aftermarket tunes let you get around it. You can rip donuts all day, too, but it does get angry when trying to do a brake stand. You can pull it off but it takes much coaxing. Try allowing the truck to roll 2-3mph while attempting. Seems to help, not that id know.
It truly cracks me up. I have to assume most folks in this thread are old timers, that lived thru the quality crisis that was the mid 70s to mid/late 80s, but act appalled at today’s vehicles. Today’s vehicles are built with precision and quality so much higher than stuff even 20 years ago was...
While I don't have one in my f150, the expedition one is the same. Our '18 has been fine, keep the drains clear. My wife doesnt mess with it though, it says closed w/shade open basically 360/365 days a year.
It's software. It's 100% an issue with post 2021's. As myself and others have mentioned, the early Gen 14's were fine and this is affecting later models. So odd. Maybe we'll get an OTA for it?
I have noticed this too. My 2021 worked fine, my 2023 is the same as yours, fucked. WTF did Ford fuck up? A good friends 2023 is the same way, too.
I’ve always had it set to 70. In our 2 previous explorers, in my 21 f150, in our expedition… but this f150? Holy smokes no way.
I love the sound of the 5.0L, but man, after riding in my buddies '23 with 3.73's, and I having had a 2.7L and now a PowerBoost.. I dunno. I LOVE V8 but man does the Eco just fit in a truck application, and the low end punch is awesome.
Just adding... the results of
2x 20-limiter roll
2x...
Holy crap, mine does the same thing! My truck is only a few months old and has 1200 miles. It does it completely randomly, and not very often. It will stop by itself within a mile or two. Does not correlate to elec/gas/throttle position etc.
Wild!
Just to update, I ordered the Phillips ones above and they work great. They almost identically match my 2021’s and took about 3 minutes to install. Would do again.
