For those that own the same truck....there are a few reports on the web about vibration if towing as well as not towing? has anyone experienced this?
Also....complaints about no engine brake? Does it come with one and is it effective...or not so much?
Thanks again!
Have not experienced any vibration on my '12 F350 when towing my 35' 5er, on the flats or the Colorado mountains.
It does have an engine brake and works well for me. And as noted, it works only while in tow/haul mode. When starting down a mountain pass, if I just ease down on the brake the exhaust/engine brake does not engage. But if I press harder (not jab it) it does engage and starts holding the speed. Rarely need to touch the brake pedal again unless grade is really steep. I even use it when not towing if I am decending a particularly steep winding grade and need to go slow and don't want to ride the brake.
The available Power Stroke® 6.7L Turbo Diesel V8 with 6-speed TorqShift® SelectShift® automatic transmission and tow/haul mode utilizes seamless engine-exhaust braking and selective gearing to improve control on steep downhill grades and minimize brake wear.
