Retired and loving it!
I have a strange kind of whop whop sound when my 2021 EB 4x4 10 speed up shifts to 7th gear at about 45 mph going up hill (when I get on it just a bit). It seems to be from the drivers side rear. It is very subtle and the dealer cannot recreate it. It is worse when I tow my travel trailer (7600#). Sometimes it occurs at other speeds and gear changes. It almost feels like a tire skipping (they are also wearing pretty fast). I am wondering it the locking diff could be dragging sometimes. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks,

Good morning! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this noise concern? Thank you!
