Brake problem
I just purchased a 2009 Ford f150 XTR SCREW.
Nice truck...but the brakes are kind of wierd.
I am used to haveing a hard peddle right away.
When you go to brake this truck, the peddle moves somewhat before the brakes bite.
A little unnerving.
It's not like they are spongy...but just take some time to bite after innitial peddle contact.
Is there a brake pushrod adjustment that can be done or is this normal for this truck?
Thanx in advance.

I just picked my '09 FX4 Supercrew 4x4 a week ago. What you are describing for the feel of your brake pedal doesn't sound right at all. My brake pedal has a solid feel from the moment you put your foot on it.
If I were you, I'd be back at the dealer having them look into it.

Yeah mine starts to brake the truck as soon as i touch it. It aint like the Dodge when it's either all or nothing. It feels like there's better brake modulation which i like better than the brakes feeling like they are gonna lock up if you push them to hard. You may have air in the lines which could cause this issue.

Mine too...we should not have to do that.
This truck is new with only 500 KLM on it.
I DID do a couple of hard brakes today and things seem a little better.
Maybe it just has to wear off some of the manufacturing crud on them.
I will let it go another week and if I still hve a problem I will take it in.
Other than that..a nice truck.
