Transmission problems
So I just bought a new 2017 F250 XLT with 20 miles on it,
put 280 miles on it, and next thing i heard something clicking/rapping underneath and next it just acted like it was in neutral, had to be towed and it would roll backwards in park, won’t engage into drive or reverse! It will shift in each but does not drive, what the heck could it be? Crazy

Oh man that is not good. Is this a gas or diesel and 2 or 4wd? Not knowing the circumstances but I did hear of someone (Epic Cowlick) pulling his RV in 4x4 Low and it popped and he was unable to move. (He has a video on YouTube on it) Another vehicle pulled it forward slightly which apparently relieved pressure on the transfer case and it allowed him to shift into 2WD and from that point he was able to move. Point tell you that was maybe there is something to do with the transfer case.

If it's a 4x4 and you can tell that it is shifting through the gears but it doesn't move then it's probably the transfer case. I had an '81 F-150 3 speed w/OD that did what you are describing and ended up having a worn shift fork in transfer case. Luckily you have a warranty.

I bet your problem is related to that.

I'd run by the dealer and inspect the drive shaft (U-joints). Maybe some comfort can be found there....
