Did you read the part that said "similar"?Then you didn't have the same problem we are having. I can lower mine to zero PSI and still feel the vibration.

Now I know in reality he didn't mean what he said, but with that said, I could totally see some Bubba doing this to diagnose the problem. lolhahaha, there goes any credibility.
its one thing to exaggerate a little, another to completely lie
Hi Landis,I’m not sure if I have this issue or not.....when I start from a stop I always feel a little vibration. Almost feels like very slight wheel hop. (No it’s not that. Haha) it’s always from start till about 10mph. Then gone.
Sounds like the start of a great relationship.Well I'm off to test drive my vehicle after getting the TSB done. The dealer says the shudder is gone so we will see wish me luck! I will post results.
If the shutter is still there I'm going to tell the dealer to shove the truck. Might cost me my deposit but I haven't signed shit yet...

Good luck and let us know what you find.Well I'm off to test drive my vehicle after getting the TSB done. The dealer says the shudder is gone so we will see wish me luck! I will post results.

Hi Tann,Well to my shock and amazement the TSB was applied and it actually worked. I drove the truck all day long today and it was super silky smooth and really enjoyable to drive. I'm really loving this truck now. Bring on the damper!
That being said I can confirm that the TSB has at least fixed my vehicle. I feel bad for the people that the TSB did not fix their vehicle because I felt the shudder and I can only imagine how frustrating that would be. I sincerely hope Ford comes up with the solution for you but just don't give up on those dealerships because they are obligated to come up with a fix.
That is exactly what my truck does. I am not sold on it being driveshaft/driveline caused. I am just going to drive mine and quit complaining. I guess I can get used to it.I’m not sure if I have this issue or not.....when I start from a stop I always feel a little vibration. Almost feels like very slight wheel hop. (No it’s not that.

My dealer did reflash the PCM. I have not driven it much yet, but in the little I have, the tranny seems to be shifting a lot smoother.The dealer likely won't reflash the PCM on yours since the TSB only lists the 2019 model year and yours is a 2020. I have the same issue (Nov 2019 build but badged 2020) and will probably end up having to live with it until Ford expands the current TSB or issues a new one to cover mine as well.
My son is a tech for GM and Dodge. He told told me that the some Dodge trucks do this and their fix is to drain all the trans fluid and refill and he said it typically fixes the issue. Dodge says it’s something with air or bubble in the fluid. ????That is exactly what my truck does. I am not sold on it being driveshaft/driveline caused.

My tires were at 45 psi when I took delivery, and I had the shudder. I lowered them to the recommended pressure and no change.Phil,
You seem to have a wealth of knowledge about the inner workings of dealerships and Ford Corporate practices. I need some if that insight. Here's hoping you can shed light on the situation.
I have been following this thread for a while having just purchased my 2020 Ranger 2 months ago. I have been busy adding features before I take it out into the wild and just finished up.
Before putting my truck into production I did my own check down today to insure all was well. Among the items I checked was tire pressures... and found a rather curious revelation. Front tire pressures were within spec, but the rear tires were only inflated to 15psi !!
I have given this some thought and I do not believe it to be an accident. How do you accidentally deflate both rear tires to 15 psi and keep the front ones within spec?
Is it possible that this dealer is trying to mask the shudder issue?
Whatever the reason, it seems dangerous and irresponsible to me. I drove the truck home 35 miles this way.
I used an old fashioned pencil pressure gauge. Tested it against my other autos and another gauge and it is accurate.
Tomorrow I will pull the ranger into my work garage and add air.
Things like this force me to consider what other issues are being masked. It leads to mistrust and my doubting the integrity of this dealership.
I will not be visiting them again until I receive an honest and satisfactory explanation.
