Thanks Samson 16. I always run in Tow Haul Mode when pulling our camper trailer. Should I still consider locking out the 9th and 10th gear or does the tow haul mode effectively manage that with minimal shifting into those gears?
I am the 2nd owner of a 2021 Lariat Powerboost I got it with 10k miles in Spring of 2023. I have had nothing but nightmares. If they are really offering an acceptable buyback - Take it! I will give some advice IMO and some suggestions to chase. #1. Keep Ford National Customer Service updated on...
