Hello, I purchased a new 2024 Maverick XL,EB,4k in April of 2025. I was extremely happy with it until I noticed the low RPM shutter/vibration under 1500 RPMs.
I did a lot of reading on this site and it's definitely a known issue. It seems to be well known that the truck gets into as high of a gear as possible as soon as possible
for the best gas mileage. This is how ford has programmed shifting points and torque converter lock up. Sport mode cures this issue but for my driving RPMs are
WAY to high, tow/haul is a little better but still higher than it needs to be and engine breaking might just be as annoying as vibration. In the last week I think
I may have put together a second reason for the low RPM vibration.
I noticed the vibration in late fall here on the praires in Canada, throughout the winter it was quite noticeable at RPMs under 1500, we've had
a very late spring here but the last few weeks have been +10 to +20 degrees Celsius and the vibration has been significantly less noticeable. The only thing
I can contribute this to is cold/stiff motor mounts not absorbing the vibration. Do any of our friends to the south in warmer climates have this vibration issue?
Has anyone used a tune just to change the shift points and torque converter lock up to increase RPM without increasing boost or horse power? I'm going
to explore having the truck tuned to address the issue as that is something I can do, asking ford to re engineer the motor mounts to use a material more
pliable in colder temperatures may be a little more difficult Thanks
