When your riding without towing the gears always in 10 th giving you a thumping sensation. Gear too high for the speed. That autoshut off button is a PITA. Towing a 20 ft pro v can really feel the thumping (even in tow haul) towed my 23 ft vnose sled trailer yesterday and it was pathetic. Do yourself a favour get a normal f150 without the 10 speed tranny. I'm getting rid of mine this week. Hope that helps
Or get whatever is wrong with it fixed... I have a 10 speed and have none of the issues you listed, i pull a 34' overall camper that is 7500-8000 lb with no issues at all. Tow/haul mode and lock out 8-10 on the highway and its fine.

Do yourself a favor and get a 5 star tune on it and you won't have any transmission issue or auto shutoff because it's permanently disabled.
