Fine. But what about those with brand new rigs. How can the dealership say with a straight face this is normal. My dealership just said they couldn,t fix it and offered me a new truck. If it was normal there would be no need to fix anything. Of course shifting into overdrive at 68mph under lite throttle unless t/h mode is engaged is not normal. I don,t really think that if its normal or not is the issue. The issue is they don,t seem to be able to correct it. For all those that read these forums and haven,t bought an ecoboost yet let this be a warning to check this out on a test drive before buying. Once the word gets out Ford will correct this. You have to wonder if this may be more widespread than we know.

My 2013 shifts into 6th around 50-60 mph. Dont understand the talk about needing a tuner to get there truck into 6th. Glad i dont have the problem. Once again it seems what ever issue plagues these ecoboost f150's is a hit/miss proposition. Seems not everyone has the same problem or issue with there trucks. Some trucks have this wrong and others have that wrong. But it seems nobody has the same issue overall.
Sounds like Ford needs to get Honda to assemble there trucks for them.
