Hi,

I noticed that I get a shudder or vibration when towing but only when starting from deadstop or at low speed while pulling up a steep grade. It eventually goes away but it seems like while working the truck hard it's there. I mentioned it to the dealer and they said it could be due to the driveline angle. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar?

Thank you
R

It's covered in your owners manual (at least it is in mine..2015 f150w/2.7). It's normal according to the manual.

I guess your dealer hasn't read the owners manual.

I guess I didn't read the manual either. I noticed that same shudder and was going to ask a similar question.

Your truck is almost 6 years old and probably has high mileage. Consider checking condition of u-joints.
It is possible your trailer is overweighting your truck too. With the added weight it changes the pinion angle and universals are rolling around differently than while unloaded.
