Maybe. I also wonder why two Ford service department under filled my Mustang with oil by several quarts. The first time, when I caught it, the engine did start shaking (I immediately turned it off) as you described. There has never ben an oil light and the Ford tech told me the engine...

While I’m sure that your intelligence, strength, wisdom, and looks have only gotten better with age, you are not a corporation driven by profits.

At the very beginning I stated that Ford is not Honda or Toyota. I’m not sure I trust their testing program as much as you do.

Why do you present a theory but then deny me the right to one? I asked a question based on a fact. Lugging is a fact. Is the engine lugging?

Can I put that in the bank? I think I was looking for a little more than “trust me.” I’d like to but I remember Ford in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Do you? Can you explain if the engine is lugging or not at 60 MPH at 1,500 RPM or should I just trust you?

I may try the performance tune, if it doesn’t reduce towing capabilities. I hope I’m not disappointed like I was with the Boss 302 red key.

When you lug your engine you put excessive force on it. Driving at ~1500 RPM over time may cause engine problems. Since the engine isn’t making much horse power or torque at this engine speed is problematic.

The problem is that it isn’t a diesel so running like a diesel at highway speeds is a problem for me.

I’ve heard that they have had some problems lately but, nobody tests like Honda and Toyota do.

That’s an option except I live in A densely populated portion of Germany. 75MPH in a 62MPH area, if your lucky gets you an expensive ticket in the mail. If a Polizei pulls you over you get to pay it on the spot. Then you get points on your license. When I need to go that fast I take the Mustang.

I like Ford, I’ve owned several of their products. But, I would never confuse Ford with Honda or Toyota. I’m not sure I have the same confidence in their testing that you do.

I did a quick but maybe incomplete search on this topic, if this has been asked before please point me in the right direction. While driving, the transmission likes to upshift until the motor is running at ~1,500 RPM. Whether at highway speeds or residential driving, this is what it does. I...
