Bucking, lagging, surging?
I just towed my new 5th wheel, 10,000 pound RV with my new (2,800 total miles) ‘22, F350 Super duty, 4X4, 6.7, crew cab Platinum truck. It hesitated from a dead stop as it shifted from first to second, to 3rd gear and slightly to fourth. This doesn’t seem normal to me. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I find mine shift much nicer in the Normal position than the Tow/Haul, especially through the first 3 gears. When I am in stop and go traffic with the RV I find it much better to get out of tow/haul since I never get out of 2nd or 3rd gear and I'm creeping in traffic. Usually I leave it in tow/haul but I find the shift to be a bit harsher than in my 2018. Once past 3rd gear things smooth out.

If you have a passenger with you, have them record a video of the behavior, RPM gauge and the cluster. This way, you will have a video to show the service desk if you decide to take it in.

The engine light just turned on a day after our RV’ing trip, so I will mention the situation to the service tech. I hope he is a good one who knows his stuff.

Did it do it only before it was warmed up all the way?
