Drive mode: low speed stutter

[bryanmichael]

Hey guys -

I've noticed that when I switch drive modes into pretty much any non-standard option (Tow, Sport, Eco etc.), in low speeds, my tires stutter - almost sounds like I'm skidding. Is that normal?

Only happens when I'm going 5-10mph.

My specs: 2021 F-150 XLT Sport V6 3.5

Check to make sure it is not switching you into 4X4. Some of the modes do that.

Thanks - RWD 2x4, so I don't think this is the issue.

I don't switch drive modes unless I am stopped. Not sure if that is the recommended operation but its what I do. Some of the modes auto switch to 4 wheel drive.

Assuming you have an E-Locker, is the drive mode actuating it on?
