Well I spoke with a service manager and hes heard similar complaints regarding slow fill ups. He said there really isn’t much you can do. He did confirm what others have said and to not jam the nozzle in as far to let the air escape a bit. Just glad it’s not something wrong with my truck. I guess that’s another bonus of a 48 gallon tank is less annoying fill ups!

This is why so many gas stations sell "roller food"... go get something to eat with one hand while you pump gas with the other. You're going to have time for a leisurely lunch.
Problem over! LOL

I had this issue with my 2005 V10. It was never resolved. Here in CA, I had to shift the nozzle 1/4 turn and push hard enough to depress the top of the vapor lock while creating a small air gap at the bottom. This tricked the pump into allowing a continuous flow. Of course, this meant I had to man the pump handle the entire time. In other states without the vapor lock, there was no problem.

I've had this problem intermittently for 3 years with my '17. Usually caused by how much pressure is present at the nozzle. I usually fill up at the same place and if they just got a new batch of fuel in, forget it as I have to stand there holding the nozzle and doesn't matter what position it's in.
