Looking for opinions from those of you that have gone from a 2020-22 6.7l to a new 6.7l HO. How is the transmission/dead pedal issue/smoothness/ etc. I just can't stand my transmission in the first four gears or if you floor it in those lower gears, it has no balls compared to my '15 I had. You get into traffic or driving in a parking lot it constantly shifting between 1-2-3, it is just not smooth. Have a Ford Ranger 10spd also and it is just about perfectly smooth and delivers power like you would expect. Wife has a Lincoln 10spd, also perfectly smooth. I had my transmission replaced just before the powertrain warranty expired, which did fix all the harsh, bang, & erratic shifting, however I just can't stand the driving dynamics. Have a couple friends with newer f150, also no complainants from transmission.
To me part of the problem is these trucks do not want to start out in first(unless loaded), I wished Ford would program them only to start in first when you are in tow haul mode. Should be a second start otherwise.
The new Neptune Blue color has me tempted, however at the price point of these trucks, I would not buy another one with this type behavior (I will just keep what I have, just a baby with 37,000 miles) unless they have fixed these issues. I really love the looks of my current truck and have no complaints or problems other than the transmission.
