Purchased a Lead Foot in color FX4 EB 3.5L back in April of 2021. This after owning a mostly trouble free 2017 F150 XLT EB 3.5L
I have noticed the following:
> Intermittent rough Idle in park or on drive (especially when hot/humid weather in FLA)
> Very harsh/rough down shifting (thump noise and jerky feel) on Eco, and Normal driving modes in particular from 9-8-7th gear.
> Lastly, intermittent slight engine knocking/pinging during low RPM acceleration in all driving modes (especially during warmer days, I always use top tier fuel stations, and have used both 87 & 93 octane ethanol and non ethanol fuels to no avail).
I have already taken to Ford and they claim this is normal on these 2021's?
Somewhat disappointed to here! for a 50K plus truck and I never experienced none of these issues when I had my 2017 F150 3.5L EB 4X4 Sport?????
I would greatly appreciate any feed back on above issues, and what if any recommendations you all may have.
Thanks
