I know, it's a little off topic. Just a little.

Have you tried this? I'm curious how this works since the this is my first vehicle with an electronic brake switch instead of a lever. How much damage are we talking here that can be done in doing this "emergency procedure"?

This is sounding more and more like a design or engineering fault rather than a failure. I would be surprised if it ever gets resolved (or even needs to be). I’m happy that my truck doesn’t do it, yet, but would love to have a shot at diagnosing it.

I have this exact same problem, with a 2016 5.0.. I think I figured a way to stop it/tame it. I was using 93 octane I switched down to 87 octane and it seems to be gone. I will check later on to see if I still have it
the shake was super obvious whenever I was pulled over at a light or parked somewhere with the engine on.

2016 XLT Supercab with 8' bed. 5.0, 36 gallon tank and rear locker.
I randomly have the same "shudder" when coming to a stop. It lasts for a
I also had a similar problem with a 2000 F150 (long bed as well).
In both cases I wrote it off as fuel sloshing.
In both cases I'd done something with the gas tank.
The 2000 required gas tank replacement and new straps.
I replaced the factory straps with the ones that allowed me to mount a skid plate. Factory parts throughout, but it doesn't change the fact that I replaced them.
I'd thought my problem was related to a loose strap or something until I stumbled across this thread.

I only use 87 
On a good note, The mechanic called me yesterday and he ordered a new fuel tank, now my first reaction is why the **** are you gonna replace the fuel tank? I cant see that changing anything unless the design of the fuel tank changed itself. BUT!!! I realized what he is doing, He got Ford to okay the replacement of a fuel tank, and because of that he will have to inspect everything else in order to do the swap. Thus hopefully finding the real issue!

That's good news. Some kind of progress at least.

I am going to take mine in. Full tank of gas driving all over yesterday it happened on multiple stops. I also get a nice clunk if I get off the gas around 30mph then tap it. Stop and go traffic is the worse.
