22 F250 reverse pause
Today I noticed when I put the truck into reverse and let go of the brake there was a two second delay before the truck started moving backwards. I thought because I was very close to something behind me it was some kind of safety feature so I pulled forward and put it into reverse and the same thing, there's a delay between me releasing the brake and the truck moving backwards. Is this normal?

Was your truck warmed up to normal operating temperature? I ask because I questioned the same thing about backing out of my driveway (cold) and it taking a couple seconds for Drive to engage after I shifted to forward. The pat answer seems to be it's normal until the drivetrain has reached normal operating temperature. Can't say I like the answer.

I park my 2021 backed in really close to the garage. It does have the backup sensors, the ones that beep, and on my display I back up until I get in the red zone. sometimes the breaks do hold and if I want to get just a bit closer, have to nudge the gas.

Mine is pretty harsh and slightly delayed when cold, into R and into D. It dos not do this once even just a little warm, just from a cold start. I do not worry about it. I plow snow with the truck so it does a LOT of back and forth some days and after the first couple of times in the morning it is much smoother. Still does a rare harsh downshift if you catch it just right. I am closing in on 30k miles and it has been the same since new.

Mine has done both. Aggressive into drive a couple time. Cold and sitting for a day or two, I drop into reverse and the truck does not move for 5 seconds or so. Every time.

I always let my vehicles warm up a few min before pulling out. However, I just needed to move my truck out of the way one morning, so turned the key and dropped it in R - and it was hard shift / lurch I’ve read about here. That’s the only time the transmission has ever shifted hard or really lurched.

I think the bottom line is, most experience this to one degree or another but transmissions do not seem to be failure prone. Just the challenge of making a very HD unit more car like for all of those not familiar with trucks like this. The six speed in my 2012 had plenty of "character" too. Last truck transmission I actually liked were the manual G56's in Dodge/Ram trucks.

My 2022 7.3L 10-spd shifting delay has become quite evident after 4 years with my 2017 6.7L 6-spd which never hesitated when changing between forward and reverse when cold. The hesitation is my only complaint with the 10-spd tranny.

My 2018 F150 with the 10 speed (yes I know, NOT the same transmission) does the same thing when cold. It doesn't move right away when put in reverse, a 2 second delay or so before it moves. If I give it gas it will move, but not at idle. It just might be a characteristic with the transmission programming.
