[QUOTE="Bill Kaiser, post: 745122, member: 65592"] Just Jimmy, I was one of the guys writing about the shifting all the time. I also tow a boat 3500lb in the mountains of Arizona most of the time I have od off unless on the flat. Ford has set up the 07 v8 to have just enough power developed from the engine to get it down the road lightly loaded to get the best gas mileage possible ie. the lower the rpm the better the gas mileage but then it shifts all the time to get the rpms up to get the power it needs to pull a load or go up a mountain or just accelerate. The days of the v8 big block torque are gone accept for the 250 or 350 and who wants that kind of gas mileage. Just my 2 cents, Bill [/QUOTE]
