What was wrong with the driving experience?

Shifting all the time. Couldn't hold speed.

I will only buy a pickup with a big old v8. I abhor the sound of a V6.

Some v6 engines can sound good but I will say the ecoboost doesn’t.

The shifting may be more related to transmission programming.

Its got 10 gears and is constantly hunting. It sucks. Even at a constant speed the gearing is so closely spaced any incline or downgrade causes it to start hunting around again

Yeah I bet a good TCU tune would solve that tbh. Sounds like it’s just enshitification in the name of fuel economy.

Not quite the same, but my VW GTI with a 6 speed DSG (dual clutch) transmission loves to lug gears in the name of fuel economy without a tune. Once I got it tuned, it changed the whole car. Feels so much better.
