2011 accelerator problem
When I press slighty on the accelerator just to get the truck moving and than let off the engine stays at the higher RPM typically just over a 1000. This only happens in drive not reverse and everytime I just slighty step on the accelerator. Any thoughts anyone? The truck only has 1K miles on it.

I had a similar issue with my 09 F150. dealer said it is normal. I took it to my mechanic, basically he said the same . I traded a 96 F250 with a 460 and 4:10's that i had driven for 267,000 miles. basically, it was different from what i was used to.I would have the dealer check it out, and enjoy your new ride.

I cannot make my truck do this anymore,it now has 29,000 miles.
when i picked it up at the dealer i noticed it right away,their lot is only 1/2 mile to the highway, but 3 sets of lights,and lots of stop and go. the dealer looked at it the next day.
I asked my mechanic about it when he did the first oil change,that was around 3500 miles.
I think it had stopped by the 2nd oil change. maybe it just needs some miles and time.

they said it was a normal condition, and if i wanted ,they would
1. reflash the computer
2.let me drive another to compare
They recommended giving it some time and miles,that is what i did,
and it stopped some time after the 1st oil change.

I believe the truck's computer goes through a learning process when the vehicle is new and this maybe what your experiencing. I know my owners manual even states that if the battery is disconnected this process has to run again.

I use it all the time and it works great.
I sometimes use it when I want to drive "friskey". The higher RPMs give it more pep.
Totally normal for Tow/haul.
