Do the 2015s have this issue, i have a 15 platinum 3.5 ecoboost and have had no issues so far...did ford redesign to fix this issue, or should i be prepared to deal with it...?

 

My 15 lariat has it. 3:31 gears EB. Only notice it when I'm pulling a trailer and only taking off from a complete stop.

 

My XLT 3.5EB 3:55 gear has had 0 issues with shudder. I have pulled about 8 different trailers/campers no issues at all. I will tell you this thing likes to turn tires over with a 10K trailer going up hill on a start... LOL kinda spooked me but had no issues with raising foot off the throttle to allow the grip back and away we go.

 

2015 Lariat SCab 3.5 EB with 3.55 rearend and I haven't experienced any shudder.

 

Mine is in the shop as I type for shudder on take off. With weight in the bed it gets much worse than being unloaded. I wouldn't even try to hook up a trailer at this point. 5.0, 6.5 box, 3.73, crew cab, Lariat w/ 2800 miles

 

is it drivetrain, or engine related shudder

 

Drivetrain

 

I wasn't sure if it was me or what but when I step into it and it builds boost and pulls its like the power the turbo produces is in 15% increments and not a smooth steady increase. Like it pulls then pulls harder...then pulls harder again and my foot position is the same and that's throughout a full gear before it shifts up. 3.5 eco with 3:31.

 

Yup, mine shudders a bit while towing. I believe around 1500 rpms if I remember correctly. Its on my list of things to have checked out.
Does anyone know what causes this? Or is there a fix?
ecoboost/max tow/6.5 bed.
7000 miles

 

Hey guys,

If you're experiencing this concern, shoot me a PM with your rig's year, mileage, and whether it's been to the dealership or not. I'll see how I can best assist.
