Thumbs up Shaking and Jerking when Towing & how Ford has stood behind their product!!

I'm new to the site but I wanted to ask if anyone had a problem with a 2003 F350 6.0 diesel jerking and shaking when towing a load. I have a gooseneck horse trailer. My truck started jerking and shaking every now and then when towing. The shaking to so severe the seatbelts lock-up. I had to either push the excelator or brake to stop it. This went on while Ford tried everything to figure it out, to no avail. Finally, after 5 repair attempts they are refunding my original purchase price and giving me the option of buying another truck under Fords "A" plan. OUTSTANDING. I'm upgrading to a King Ranch. I just wanted everyone to know, I'm a VERY happy Ford customer. They stood behind their product. I'm still curious, has anyone else had a problem with shaking while towing?

I also tow a 4 horse with LQ. My horse friends who own even the same year Ford have not experienced this shaking or jerking either.

How many miles did you have on your truck when they replaced it ?
