Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HOPS VERY BADLY OVER ROUGH SURFACES AND THE TAIL END SWINGS OUT. FORD SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT THE VEHICLE ALMOST LOSES CONTROL OVER SURFACES THAT ARE HANDLED BY OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDING OTHER F-150S. FORD CLAIMS THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE'S REAR SITS HIGHER ON ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER BY ABOUT 1.1 INCHES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO FORD'S ATTENTION AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT IT'S NORMAL AND DUE TO THE GAS TANK BEING FULL DESPITE IT RESIDING ON THE SIDE THAT SITS HIGHER. NEITHER OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BUT FEEL THAT THEY ARE RELATED.
