Greetings.
New to the forum, new to Ford. Bought my first one last August. 2015 F150 XLT.
I've noticed an issue when cruising along under very light acceleration (just cruising) and you feather on the gas for a slight hill etc. Any other vehicle it's never been an issue. With this one, I often notice a clunk (hard shift)as it shifts from day 5 to 4 or 4 to 3. Sometimes it really sounds loaded down and I have to hit the gas harder even though I don't want to accelerate, just maintain speed. Interstate off ramps with a 180 are the worst.
It seems to drive much better if I use sport mode or tow mode.
Maybe unrelated but it seems like it takes a while to shift from 4 to 1 or 3 to 1 when at a stop sign. I have to consciously have to wait until it downshifts. An extra 1-2 seconds after I would normally go. If I don't, again it loads down or clunks.
It seems like in regular mode it is trying too hard to maintain lower RPMs.
I did go to the dealer and got a TSB updated. It does seem better (25-40ish) but still seems not quite right.
Any suggestions? TIA
