You get out and look and there is nothing. No damage no evidence that anything is amiss. Satisfied everything is okay you get back in the truck and start off again. On the trip home we are coming down a mountain and suddenly there it is again. The same noise and feeling that something has hit the truck or you have run over something that was in the road. Once again you stop and look for damage, nothing. There is no check engine light, there is nothing showing up anywhere that anything is wrong and no you haven't been hit by flying objects. We are towing a Montana fifth wheel and if anything was going on back there it would not vibrate through the truck as the Mor/ryde hitch is encased in rubber mounts. What ever it is you can feel it come through the floorboard of the truck.
So can anyone tell me is there something going on with the exhaust that is causing this sensation. Could the engine be backfiring through the exhaust. It doesn't sound like a backfire just a huge thud that vibrates up through the truck as if you have been struck by something.

Of course, this is NOT what is wrong with your Ford, but it's pretty scary nonetheless, eh?

pothole causing traction control/abs to kick in?
Would this make a noise like something hitting the truck?

Wild guess.......transfer case engaging for no aparent reason. Maybe computer.
Wouldn't that cause the engine RMP's to raise up quickly?

WOW - This is going to be a very interesting thread!
Do you feel a loss of power?
Please keep us updated.
There is no loss of power and no change in the RPM's. It is as if you ran over a large chunk of tire left on the road. The sound is not the sound of hitting something metal. It sounds like a huge piece of hard rubber hitting either the camper or truck. This is so strange.:h

You need a hotshot Ford automatic transmission specialist's diagnosis if your rig has an automatic transmission. I can offer nothing if it is a manual trans.
